Drama is a fundamental and highly valuable aspect of the international school education offered at the International School. Each student is encouraged to participate both on and off stage. They have many opportunities to showcase their talents in a variety of shows and assemblies.
Contemporary educational research shows that drama is a practical teaching and learning tool that is easily accessible to all students, visually, verbally and kinesthetically. Dramatic play is important and necessary for children. It is a natural, brain-friendly learning tool.
The acquired skills will be useful in later life. The process requires students to have practical skills in teamwork, leadership, creative problem solving, speaking and presenting work in front of an audience. In this way, personal and cultural development is encouraged. Students acquire specific skills related to historical and cultural context that prepare them to become performers, critics, creators and audiences of the future.
