Speech Poetry Meet

International Academy of Suriname participates in school-wide competition each year (Grades 1-6 in odd Mays, and 7-12 in even Mays–eg. May 2022 is an even May) in order to provide a platform for students to develop rhetoric skills from an early age. This opportunity challenges to develop the skills of memorization, public speaking, and social grace. We hold classroom speech meets for grades 1-12 to determine the top three contestants for each grade level to present to the entire school.  Students choose from an official list and memorize and perform their selection before judges. Students may choose from a variety of categories–Bible memory, poetry, dramatic interpretation, or patriotic recitation. Other schools may be involved.
