High School Public Speaking & Interview Weekend Bootcamp A 2-Session High School Speaking Intensive Confidence. Clarity. Charisma. And a whole lot of YOU. Give your high school student the communication skills to speak up, think fast, and stand out—in the classroom, during interviews, in leadership roles, and beyond! This high-energy 2-session, Saturday bundle combines two of our most valuable high school programs: Public Speaking Fundamentals and Impromptu Speaking & College Interview Prep. Across two interactive 3-hour sessions, students will learn how to organize their ideas, create compelling content, deliver with confidence, think on their feet, and handle interviews and unexpected questions with poise. And this isn't six hours of sitting and listening! Students will learn through games, challenges, writing activities, speaking exercises, mock interviews, individualized coaching, and plenty of opportunities to get up and SPEAK. SESSION 1: PUBLIC SPEAKING FUNDAMENTALS (Saturday, Sept 26) Build It. Deliver It. Own It. Session 1 builds the foundation of a strong, confident speaker. Students will explore the three key elements of effective public speaking: Content, Structure, and Performance. They'll learn how to: Organize ideas into clear, compelling speeches and presentations Develop stronger and more engaging content Structure thoughts so they're easy for an audience to follow Use voice, body language, facial expression, and eye contact effectively Manage nervousness and speak with greater confidence Connect with an audience rather than simply "give a speech" Strengthen both written and verbal communication Students will participate in a combination of writing and speaking exercises, receiving individualized instructor coaching and supportive peer feedback along the way. Whether they're preparing for a class presentation, student leadership opportunity, competition, or simply want to become more comfortable speaking in front of others, they'll leave with practical tools they can use immediately. SESSION 2: IMPROMPTU SPEAKING & COLLEGE INTERVIEW PREP (Saturday, October 17) Think Fast. Speak Smart. Be Memorable! Now we're taking those foundational skills and putting them to the test! Session 2 focuses on one of the most important—and challenging—communication skills: speaking confidently when you haven't had time to prepare. Through fast-paced games, group challenges, interview practice, and lots of spontaneous speaking, students will learn how to: Think quickly and organize an answer on the spot Use simple structures to tackle almost any unexpected question Give spontaneous answers that still sound thoughtful and polished Speak with presence, purpose, and personality Handle academic Q&A and class discussions with confidence Prepare for college, scholarship, internship, and job interviews Talk about accomplishments without sounding rehearsed or boastful Communicate goals, interests, strengths, and experiences authentically Navigate challenging or unexpected interview questions Make their answers memorable through examples and storytelling Students will participate in real-time interview and impromptu speaking practice and receive personalized feedback on their content, structure, and delivery. MORE THAN PUBLIC SPEAKING Strong communication isn't just about standing behind a podium. Throughout both sessions, students will interact, collaborate, laugh, take risks, and build confidence alongside other high school students. The environment is intentionally supportive, social, and high-energy, giving students a chance to make connections while developing skills they'll use throughout high school, college, and their careers. Our goal isn't simply to help students become better public speakers. We want them to become more confident communicators—period. Proven College Interview Success Our college interview coaching students have earned admissions—and even full scholarships—at highly competitive universities including Vanderbilt, UNC, NYU, Purdue, UPenn, MIT, and more. Whether your student is preparing for college interviews now or simply wants to walk into the next classroom, meeting, interview, or opportunity with greater confidence, this 2-session intensive gives them tools they'll use for years to come. Two sessions. Six hours. A lifetime of stronger communication. Speak up. Think fast. Stand out.
