It includes the elements of drama, role play, or imaginary play as a means of building confident and expressive communication, creativity, collaboration, and cognitive development. Each programme is carefully planned, with clear learning structures and considerable attention paid to creating a positive and enabling environment. The skills developed through our classes are what your child will need to flourish in our ever-changing world. We look forward to welcoming you into our classes, sharing our unique teaching methodology, and celebrating each new achievement.

SDP for GRADE ANKUR (NURSERY)

Speech and Drama for nursery students is language in action with stories, music, props, and characters to engage children. By incorporating rhymes, songs, puppets, and our specially selected collection of literature into our classes, we enable young children to develop their use of language in a stimulating yet natural setting. Children are encouraged and motivated to develop inquiry-based learning as independence is nurtured, as our teachers create a fun and friendly environment to build confidence and expressive communication from a young age.

SDP for GRADE PALLAV (KINDERGARTEN)

The Speech and Drama segment for PALLAV students are based around stories and poems which appeal to children’s interests, whilst helping them develop self-awareness and an understanding of their own abilities. Children develop language skills through our thematically-structured curriculum, designed to support creativity, imagination, and boost self-esteem. Our teachers nurture teamwork, collaboration, and communication skills as the children extend their experiences through drama and try out different roles and ideas. This experience helps them develop co-operation and creativity and provides an appropriate, child-centered introduction to performance. Our teaching methodology supports children’s development of communication skills and self-leadership abilities in a natural progression, starting with initial self-discovery and moving on to self-actualization as young adults who contribute their talents at home, in school, and in society. Such self-leaders express their best selves through resources and skills mastered through the Speech and Drama process: confidence, creativity, co-operation, and collaboration with others, compassion, courage, cognition, and commitment to continuous growth. Speech and Drama enable the discovery and development of our faculties and stimulates learning through experience and exploration. Skills are mastered over time through practice within the security of a group.

  • Music, songs, and movement games: Children learn to focus through exposure to music and movement.
