Abraham Lincoln. Martin Luther King, Jr. Barbara Jordan. Just a few phenomenal public speakers who inspired us to create our Odyssey High School Advanced Public Speaking course.
Public speaking teaches students the difference between simply talking and speaking to persuade, inform, enlighten, or entertain. Our lecture-based program inspires students to learn about what makes great speakers great — and then apply these characteristics as they learn to structure, write, and deliver their own speeches.
Each course features virtual lectures by award-winning professors who present advanced material in a stimulating, engaging style. With video tutorials, comprehensive lecture notes, interactive exercises, and real-life applications, this learning environment covers everything from preparing an outline to analyzing President Kennedy’s famous speeches.
