This is a introduction level speech class that is open to any fourth or fifth grade student who can make the course times and is taught by Bea Lipton. A $100 discount is factored into our pricing if you enroll for all both terms before our first class date.

Each term focuses on a different set of public speaking skills, modeled after the competition events at the middle and high school level. Our first term will focus on debate skills and our second on prepared speeches. Both are specifically designed to provide a fun, safe environment for elementary school students to develop their self-confidence through public speaking. A small amount of homework may be assigned each week. Parents and guardians are welcome to watch our student presentations on the last day of each term!

We anticipate being able to offer our full season in-person this school year, but to protect our students and our staff Stratagem Learning also reserves an unlimited right to return to an online format based on the guidance of relevant school districts, health and civil authorities, and pandemic conditions at any point in the season.
