Register now for After School Programs at Middlebrook School.  The Winter session runs from January 10 - March 28.  Classes are held for 60 – 90 minutes, once a week, for 8-weeks.  

TOP TALK!  This is a dynamic and highly innovative program, not taught in schools, providing tangible, real-world skills, tools and strategies to increase confidence and self esteem in any communication scenario.

The classes are fun and exciting as well as very interactive. In every class, each child is engaged in a variety of enjoyable communication activities, skits, and presentations, all geared towards providing a fun environment in which they can learn the vital art of communication. Some of these activities include "Fun News!" "Did You Know?" "The Surprise Box" "Meet and Greet" "You be the Judge" "Dinner Table," "Interview Success" and finally at the end of the program we run our own TOP TALK IDOL.

Simple Chinese sentences and phrases, such as how to greet family and friends during these festivals, names of certain foods that are used in these festivals, and simple directions in Chinese will be taught throughout the program.
