My son really enjoyed this camp. The teacher was amazing and provided great lessons, exercises and feedback to improve his articulatory skills. I feel his confidence is definitely improved to speak in front of others.

Response from Communication Academy
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the open house, and it's always so wonderful to be able to answer questions and inform parents. Seeing parents interested and invested in the classes their children take is one of the high points of my work with Communication Academy!

Completely unsuitable for kids to teach public speaking skills. Too much focus on judicial terminology, teacher speaking 90% of the times, confusing young kids with technical terms and barely giving them a chance to practice their speaking skills.
Confident Debate: Mock Trial (8-11y)
Location: Zoom
Response from Communication Academy
Hello! I'm sorry to hear that. We do offer Public Speaking classes focused on the subjects you desired, but Mock Trial is one of our Debate classes, in which students develop and present speeches in a debate-focused environment, including learning about the requirements and strategies of debates before presenting speeches.

We really liked how the material is taught and the activities provided. It's very engaging for students, even when the class is in online format. My daughter (8 years old) very much enjoyed the class.

About Communication Academy
Communication Academy offers after school enrichment classes and camps all year round to students in grades K-12. We were the first to offer Public Speaking courses in Cupertino, CA and have since expanded to offer Debate, Writing, Reading, and Math. We work in partnership with numerous city recreations to offer our classes and camps throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. We believe that communication is the most important skill to have in life. Having great communication skills will lead you to success in whatever you choose to do.
