The gap
The skill that decides everything else
Your child can write the answer. But can they stand up and say it?
Communication is the multiplier on every other strength your child has, and the gap no homework sheet will close.

Four skills, every level, every year
What your child will actually be able to do, by the end of any level.
Every class builds toward four skills that adults pay thousands to learn. We start them at age 8.
Linguistic Accuracy & Organization
Executive Presence & Expressive Delivery
Audience Awareness & Interpersonal Adaptability
Preparation & Narrative Engagement
These four competencies are revisited every year, with rising depth, so your child masters them, not just meets them once.
The live class
Your child presents at least twice, every single week.
100+
Speaking turns a year.
Not one assembly. Not one school play. A hundred-plus reps, with the same teacher, every week.

"My daughter has been enrolled for Math and ELA classes and she has been enjoying and learning from the classes. The teachers are great and they teach in a fun way. I highly recommend 98th Percentile for all parents who are looking for enrichment programs for their children. Thank you 98th Percentile!"
Varchas N
"My experience at 98th Percentile is very helpful because they teach us things that are way above our level. The teachers are nice and very helpful too. They answer all our questions. Therefore, 98th Percentile is great."
R. Kasireddy
"98th percentile has been great for my daughter! She's been learning Math and ELA for 3 years, starting when she was in 2nd grade. 98thpercentile helped her develop a strong foundation in math concepts and excel beyond her grade level. She's also improved her vocabulary and writing skills through ELA. A big thank you to teacher Ram and Prabhleen for their engaging and well-structured classes. Highly recommend!"
Every family on this page began the same way, one trial class, then the decision. First capstone shipped within Module 1.

Parent FAQ
The questions you're actually asking.
Is this just speech class with extra steps?
It's a structured program built around four communication competencies. Your child practices each one across multiple classes, not once.
What will my child actually be able to do at the end of a program?
Speak with structure. Hold attention. Adapt to any audience. Tell a story that lands. And a portfolio of recordings to prove it.
How will I know it's working?
A digital portfolio, monthly progress report, AI-rubric feedback on every submission, and a capstone showcase at every level.
What's expected from me as a parent?
Three things. Make sure your child attends weekly. Encourage home practice on NATE. Glance at the monthly report. No teaching from you required.
What's expected from my child?
One class a week. Active participation: they will speak, every class. Auto-assigned homework after each session. One capstone per level.
How is this different from a drama club, a debate club, or a Toastmasters Junior chapter?
Drama teaches your child to perform someone else's words. Debate teaches them to win an argument. Our program teaches them to think clearly, structure ideas, and deliver them in their own voice, week by week, against a measurable rubric.
What if my child is the one in the room who hesitates?
That is exactly who this program is built for. Six students. One teacher. Your child cannot disappear in the back row. By week four, the teacher has a personalised plan for your child's confidence arc.
Does this work as well for a grade 3 child as it does for a grade 8 child?
Yes, we run three levels (Junior Communicator → Confident Presenter → Future Leader), each calibrated to a specific developmental band. We'll match your child during the trial class.
