Speech & Drama: Foundation Programmes
Our foundation Speech & Drama Foundation Programmes offer young learners a joyful beginning in communication and performance. Through imaginative play, storytelling and guided expression, children learn to speak clearly, listen attentively and express themselves with confidence and poise.
Each session blends playfulness with purpose — nurturing imagination, language development and emotional awareness in an encouraging environment. As students explore voice, movement and character, they begin to discover the joy of performance in front of an audience and the confidence to share their ideas with the world. Every child grows at their own pace, with space to express themselves freely.
​
The Foundation Programmes are designed in progression with a layer-on-layer approach for our early learners. The students will take a group performance examination at the end of every level - designed to strengthen understanding and build confidence. The experience of working towards a goal solidifies their learning, instilling a sense of achievement.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How involved do parents need to be?
Parents play an important supportive role. We encourage you to stay informed by checking your emails for notices from the Academy, ensure regular attendance and help the student practice at home when needed. However, all teaching and learning take place in class under the facilitator’s expertise.
​
-
How can I track my child’s progress?
Student progress is shared through scheduled feedback reports and Parent-Teacher meetings. You can also contact us via email to arrange a call with the facilitator. However, it takes time to see tangible progress and we request you to be patient with the process and the child.

-
Do certification exams at this age put pressure on students?
The exams are an important part of the learning process, designed to strengthen understanding and build confidence. While the word ‘exam’ can sound stressful, performance-based, group assessments conducted in a fun, supportive and pressure-free environment. The experience of working towards a goal solidifies their learning, instilling a sense of achievement.
