At Explore Knowledge Academy of Public Speaking, every student from Kindergarten through 12th grade takes a public speaking class every single day. We give kids the tools to communicate with confidence, think critically, and become leaders inside and outside our community.
We believe every child deserves an education that is both personalized and challenging — one that prepares them to speak up, advocate for others, and lead with purpose. — Our Core Mission, Explore Knowledge Academy of Public Speaking
From daily public speaking classes to after-school care, theater, and clubs, Explore Knowledge Academy of Public Speaking wraps a rich, student-focused experience around every learner.
Every student, every grade, every day. From foundational communication skills in elementary school to debates, mock trials, and theatrical speaking in secondary, your child will graduate as a confident, effective speaker.
Secondary students participate in our theater program — a natural extension of public speaking that builds stage presence, emotional expression, and teamwork. We are actively working to bring theater to our 5th grade students as well.
High-achieving students can challenge themselves through honors courses and dual enrollment opportunities, earning college credits while still in high school.
Every student has a dedicated SEL class each day, giving them the space to understand themselves, build healthy relationships, and develop the emotional tools to navigate life with resilience.
Elementary students enjoy clubs like chess, dance, gymnastics, cheer, and soccer. Secondary students can even launch their own club. Intramural sports — including volleyball, soccer, basketball, and speedball — keep everyone active and engaged.
Our school-run after-care program, Explore More, is available every Tuesday through Friday until 6:00 PM. Students enjoy a recess and nutrition break before receiving homework help in a safe, supervised environment.
We are not your typical charter school. Every decision we make — from our schedule to our curriculum to our support model — is designed to help your child grow into a confident communicator and community leader.
Public speaking is woven into every school day, at every grade level. Students learn to express ideas, argue a position, perform on stage, and advocate for themselves and others — skills that last a lifetime.
In grades K–5, students are grouped by ability, not just age. Smaller classes with dual-endorsed teachers mean that any child who needs extra support gets it — no label required.
All exterior doors stay locked during the school day. Visitors check in through one of our three secure front offices. Interior and exterior cameras and a gated campus provide an additional layer of safety for every student.
Weekly newsletters, text alerts, emails, a private family Facebook page, and a dedicated parent portal email (parentportal@ekacademy.org) keep you connected. Infinite Campus and Google Classroom let you track your child's progress anytime.
"My daughter used to be terrified to raise her hand in class. After just one year at Explore Knowledge Academy of Public Speaking, she stood up and delivered a speech at a community event. I was blown away."
"The four-day school week was an adjustment, but honestly it has been a gift. My son is less burned out, his grades have improved, and he actually looks forward to going to school on Tuesdays."
"What sold me was the daily public speaking class. My kids are learning to debate, think on their feet, and speak with confidence. Those are skills no standardized test can teach — but EKA does."
