Our Mission
As parents, we all desire our children to be confident and empowered with the tools to lead a life of contribution, strength and joy.
In every class, camp and workshop we strive to KNOW each student and create a community where all feel embraced, supported and are encouraged to grow these essential life skills.
We believe that open communication, transparency and care between our students, parents and teachers is the perfect triangle for success in education.
Testimonials
"Thank you so much! I have watched the video many times already :). We have seen so much improvement in her style and we see huge value in her attending Speak Easy. It is just a perfect platform to learn public speaking and your coaching and instructions are very simple to follow. I actually wrote a note to her teacher separately to tell her that we really like these opportunities which kids are getting at Samantha Smith."
