Acting & Musical Theatre
(School)
Storytelling is at the heart of all great performances and so we’ve put storytelling at the heart of our curriculum.
Acting & Musical Theatre (School)
‘Great stories happen to those who can tell them.’
We have developed our Acting & Musical Theatre course for students in Years 7 - 11 to support aspiring young actors, musicians, and performers in reaching their full potential as creative artists. Our AMT course is delivered alongside an engaging and enriching academic curriculum. Students thrive in small, dedicated classes, creating an environment for both artistic and academic success.
We have put acting and storytelling at the heart of our curriculum, where students get the opportunity to focus their training, in either acting for stage and screen or musical theatre performance. With weekly classes in improv, acting technique, voice, movement, singing, music performance, dance and so much more we’re paving the way for young performers to thrive in the ever-changing landscape of the performing arts industry.
