Woodstock
Woodstock is home base. Summer day camp runs at Woodstock Community Church, and Cherokee County families make up a core part of every cohort. If you're in Woodstock, you're about 10 minutes from where we meet.
What Rhetrix is
In-person coaching. Small groups. Every student presents every session.
Rhetrix is not a debate club, not Toastmasters, and not a generic enrichment program. It's a professionally coached public speaking curriculum built for the specific developmental moment your student is in — grades 6 through 12, four tracks, five sessions each. Summer runs five consecutive days. Fall and spring run once a week for five weeks.

Where we serve
Families come from across the area.
Here's where Rhetrix students live and why their families sought out a program like this.
Alpharetta
Alpharetta families tend to find Rhetrix because their students are strong academically but quiet in rooms when it matters. With the college prep pressure in this area, communication coaching is often what separates a great application from a great applicant.
Roswell
Roswell students have shown up in every cohort since we started. Parents here are deliberate about what they add to a schedule — which is why they tend to stay once they see what five sessions actually builds.
Milton
Milton is one of the most academically competitive zip codes in Georgia. Students here arrive knowing their material. The work at Rhetrix is getting that knowledge to land in a room, under pressure, in front of real people.
East Cobb
East Cobb is home to some of Georgia's strongest academic programs. Students from this area often arrive at Rhetrix with strong credentials. The gap we close is the one between knowing something and being able to show it.
Marietta
Marietta families are a significant part of every Rhetrix cohort. The program is close enough to make the drive easy, and specific enough to be worth it for families who want something beyond generic enrichment.
Kennesaw
Kennesaw is a growing community with a lot of ambitious families. Rhetrix regularly enrolls students from this area who want coaching that goes beyond test prep and athletics.
Canton
Canton and Cherokee County are well-represented in every cohort. Some families drive 30 minutes specifically because they can't find anything comparable closer to home.
Common questions
Where we run, who we serve, and what to expect.
Where exactly does Rhetrix meet?
Summer day camp runs at Woodstock Community Church in Woodstock, Georgia. Fall and spring cohorts meet at partner schools in the North Fulton area. All sessions are in person.
Do you serve Marietta, East Cobb, and Kennesaw?
Yes. Rhetrix serves students from across North Fulton and Cherokee County, including Alpharetta, Roswell, Milton, East Cobb, Marietta, Woodstock, Kennesaw, and Canton. Families from Cobb County regularly make the drive because the program is specifically built for grades 6 through 12.
How far do families typically drive to attend?
Most families are within 20 to 30 minutes of the session location. Students from Canton, Kennesaw, and Marietta typically have the longest drives, around 25 to 35 minutes to Woodstock for summer camp. Fall and spring cohort locations vary by school.
Is there a program like Rhetrix closer to East Cobb or Marietta?
Not that we know of. Most speech and communication programs in metro Atlanta are debate-focused, adult-oriented, or generic enrichment. Rhetrix is the only program in this area built specifically for grades 6 through 12 around authentic communication presence and real coaching feedback.
What does "public speaking coaching for students" actually mean?
At Rhetrix, every student presents at every session — no spectators. Sessions cover vocal delivery, body language, storytelling, impromptu speaking, and presence. Students in grades 6 through 12 are grouped by developmental track, not just age, so the coaching is specific to where they are.
