Objectives
The importance of communication skills to students cannot be overstated. Effective communication skills will not just help our children participate in a crowded classroom, but will enable them to stand out in a crowd.
Our goals are to help our children:
- Speak concisely and precisely, with confidence and clarity.
- Develop and deliver informative speeches, and connect with audience.
- Embrace disagreement and arguments of opposite views.
- Develop critical thinking.
- Develop teamwork & leadership skills.
