Explore Knowledge Academy of Public Speaking

Explore Knowledge Academy of Public Speaking is located on South Mountain Vista Street in Las Vegas, zip code 89120. The program focuses on public speaking and debate for children and teens ages 5 to 18, broken into three brackets: 5 to 8, 9 to 12, and 13 to 18. Offerings include public speaking programs, debate programs, a speech and debate camp, competition preparation, weekly classes, and workshops, which gives families a choice between ongoing weekly instruction or more intensive competition-focused training.

The facility is wheelchair accessible, which is helpful information for families with a student who has mobility needs, though the listing does not list other special needs accommodations beyond that.

Hours vary slightly by day. Monday runs 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., while Tuesday through Friday the academy is open 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is closed on Saturday and Sunday. The academy operates year-round, so families are not limited to a single summer session and can look into weekly classes or workshops at different points during the school year, in addition to the dedicated speech and debate camp.

The listing does not include pricing, so parents should call to ask about class fees, camp costs, and whether pricing differs for weekly classes versus workshops or competition prep. There is no information here on scholarships, sibling discounts, trial classes, or payment methods, all of which are worth asking about directly. For questions on any of this, the academy can be reached at (702) 870-5032, and more information is available at ekacademy.org.

Instruction is in English. Because the program spans such a wide age range, from early elementary through high school, and separates students by bracket, families with kids at different ages may be able to enroll more than one child while keeping instruction appropriately matched to each child's stage. The mix of weekly classes alongside a dedicated competition prep track also suggests this academy works both for a student trying public speaking for the first time and for one already competing in speech and debate events.
