Welcome to Presentation Skills for Students!
No matter what path your student takes, elevated communication skills will help them find success.
Are they prepared?
This course will help them develop positive habits as they:
• Consider how they represent themselves even when not giving a formal presentation
• Increase confidence
• Maximize verbal, vocal and visual communication
• Use pitch, pace, volume and congruent body language to enhance communication
• Create a clear, concise message
• Decrease anxiety when presenting
• Connect with an audience
No one can know how brilliant you are if you can’t communicate it.
Please enroll your student in the grade they will be in the fall of 2026.
Each session is limited to 16 students. Book now to avoid disappointment!

SUPPORT THE CAMP THAT SUPPORTS YOUR SCHOOL! Our camps are taught by ESUSD teachers or Ed! associates, so your enrollment supports local teachers and community members. All profits go directly back to ESUSD through the grant Ed! pays to the district.
ACCOMMODATIONS:
The Academy is not part of the El Segundo Unified School District (ESUSD) and therefore cannot offer accommodations or special resources that your student receives from the district during the school year. If your student requires special accommodations, to avoid a cancellation fee, please get in touch with us at [email protected] to discuss before enrolling in a camp.
If you would like to provide an aide to support your student, please allow enough time for the aide to be cleared by ESUSD Human Resources, which requires the aide to be fingerprinted and background-checked.
The charge on your credit card will be from the El Segundo Education Foundation!
We sometimes take photos/videos for promotional purposes. To opt out, please email [email protected] with the participant's name, class they are taking and dates of the class.
Please contact The Academy if you have any questions.
