One of the greatest gifts you can give your child is the gift of confidence and effective communication skills. The Academy for Public Speaking offers fun, interactive courses in San Diego and online to empower children to develop confidence, public speaking, and leadership skills. Our public speaking courses and summer camps are open to 3rd-12th grade students.
By discovering and embracing the power of public speaking and leadership, your child will enjoy the benefits of being a confident, effective communicator. Students who conquer the fear of public speaking at an early age have a significant advantage in school and life.
At the Academy for Public Speaking, your child will learn the value of not being afraid to express his or her ideas while developing confidence, leadership experience, and public speaking skills. These essential communication skills will support your child in doing well in school and achieving his or her goals in life.
During our free introduction to public speaking class, we discuss why public speaking skills are so important, how common the fear of public speaking is, and how your child can quickly overcome the fear of public speaking.
You will meet several Academy for Public Speaking graduates who will present speeches and share about their experiences. The graduates will explain how they initially felt about public speaking, what they like about the Academy for Public Speaking courses and camps, and how the skills they have acquired have helped them in school and life.
