Speech & Drama Programme
For School Grade 2 - 12
23 August - 16 November 2025
BANGALORE
Speech & Drama Programme
In this 3-month Speech & Drama Programme, students will build confidence in self-expression using their voice and body, while tapping into their creativity and imagination. They will develop essential skills such as improvisation, characterisation, research, and audience engagement through theatre-based activities, texts, and literature. Play-based sessions will foster teamwork, boost confidence, and help shape a strong, expressive personality. The programme introduces valuable performance and delivery techniques that students can apply both academically and personally.
As the final objective of this course, the student will take the Trinity College London examination in Speech & Drama and apply their learnings. Upon successful completion of this examination, the student will be awarded a certificate from Trinity College London. While highly recommended, this is an optional examination; those not taking the exam will have the same learning journey and an internal assessment.
Certificate from J’s Academy will be awarded on successful completion of the programme for that level.

FAQs
-

This course is appropriate for students in school grade 2 to 12. Students are grouped with peers of their age and level of development. There are no prerequisites, only the openness to learn.
-
How long is the programme?
This is a 3 month programme. The sessions are held once a week for one hour —same time every week. Advance level students will have 4 longer sessions of 90 minutes towards the end of the programme. After completion, the student may enrol to the next level and continue to develop the skills.
-
What if I do not want to take the Trinity exam?
The Trinity examination is optional and the learner can opt to not take it. This will not impact their learning and they will take an internal assessment at the end of the programme. However, we recommend taking the exam as the student will be prepared for it and many other advantages of performing in front of an examiner and getting the certification.
