During the school year, Rhetrix runs cohorts directly on partner-school campuses. A cohort is five weekly 60-minute sessions in a before-school, after-school, or elective-period slot. Students are grouped by developmental track, not by school, so a 7th grader and a senior are never coached the same way.
The partnership is free to the school. Rhetrix runs everything: coaching, materials, scheduling. $100 of every $500 seat is donated back to the school’s PTA at the end of the semester. Families pay tuition directly, and the donation is tied to cohorts held on the school's own campus.
This is communication-presence coaching built for the moments that actually decide things: class presentations, college interviews, group projects, and any room where a student needs to be taken seriously.
Cohorts and coaching across metro Atlanta.
Rhetrix works with middle and high school families across the north metro, and adds new campuses every semester. Don’t see your school below? Nominate it — one interested family or counselor is usually where a new partnership starts.
What parents and schools ask us.
Does my child’s school offer a Rhetrix public speaking program?
Rhetrix runs spring cohorts on partner-school campuses across North Atlanta and adds new campuses each semester. Fall 2026 cohorts meet after school at The Circuit in Woodstock and are open to any student. Specific campuses are shared with enrolled families rather than listed publicly. If your student’s school isn’t a current partner, you can nominate it: a single interested parent or counselor is often all it takes to start a conversation.
How do I bring a public speaking program to my school?
Two quick paths. Parents can nominate their school through our contact form. School administrators, counselors, and PTA leaders can start a formal partnership at rhetrix.com/schools. Partnerships are free to the school, Rhetrix runs the cohorts, and $100 of every $500 seat in a cohort on the school’s campus is donated back to the school’s PTA at the end of the semester.
Is this an after-school program or does it run during the day?
Both formats exist. On partner campuses, cohorts run in before-school, after-school, or elective-period slots depending on what the school prefers. Each cohort is five weekly 60-minute sessions for grades 6 through 12, with students grouped by developmental track rather than by school.
What does the school-based program cost, and how does the school benefit?
A five-week cohort seat is $500, paid by the family. The school pays nothing, and for a cohort held on its campus it earns a $100 donation back to its PTA for every seat filled. Families outside a partner campus can join a fall cohort at The Circuit in Woodstock (same $500 seat, no school donation), summer day camp ($750), or live 1:1 virtual coaching ($200 per session).
