For parents raising kids ages 9–19
Quiet Is Not Always A Personality Trait
Created by Bethany Stone.
Montessori educator for 23 years.
Speaker on stages in Bali, Florida and North Carolina, and a guest on over one hundred podcasts.
Youth Speaker School gives young people a place to practice expressing their ideas, advocate for themselves and speak with greater confidence before the stakes become higher.
Because you will not always be there to speak for them.
How It Works

Each group is designed for
where your child actually is, developmentally, emotionally, and socially.

You know your child is capable.
You want them to be able to show it.
You May Notice That They
Go silent in moments that matter.
They were treated unfairly but could not find the words to explain what happened or speak up for themselves.
Stay quiet even when they know the answer.
They knew exactly what to say, but didn't say it until the car ride home.
Shut down when trying to express themselves.
You know they understand the subject, but they struggle to communicate what they think when attention turns toward them.
These moments can appear small. But as children get older, the world expects them to speak, decide and advocate for themselves with less help from you.
Hi, I'm Bethany.
I founded and led Teton View Montessori in the Rexburg area, a school built around hands-on learning where children learn the way they were meant to learn, at their own pace, without lowering the standard.
I’ve spoken five times at MEPI educational conferences, I host the Thriving by Nature podcast, and I co-organize the East Idaho Women in Leadership Summit. One of my keynotes is called Engaging the Unengageable.
That’s the work I bring to every class.
"Your child is ready. They just need the right space to rise."
No pressure. No pitch. Just a conversation.
Built for real life.
1. Weekly live class
Your child joins a live session with their age group to practice one life skill or speaking concept in a safe, supported space.
2. A real practice exercise to take home
A short, practical exercise each week so the skill sticks as a habit, not just information.
3. Quarterly live stage experience
Every quarter, students take a real stage in front of a live panel of judges. This is where the confidence work, life skills and voice work come together.
4. Community access between sessions
A private Skool community where your child can connect, share and get encouragement between live sessions.
