Speech & Drama Programme
In this short Online Speech & Drama Programme, students will build confidence in self-expression using their voice and body, while tapping into their creativity and imagination - over live Zoom group sessions. 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.

What is Trinity?
Trinity College London, established in 1872, is a leading international awarding organisation. With over 850,000 candidates a year in more than 60 countries worldwide, Trinity qualifications are specifically designed to help students progress.
Trinity’s group examinations for this age group are designed to encourage young children to develop performance, musical and communication skills as they create and explore stories, songs, roles and situations through the imaginative and integrated use of movement, music, voice and artwork. Working towards these certificates encourages teamwork, turn-taking, sharing, speaking and listening, memorisation and imaginative engagement.
FAQs
-
At what age can I enrol my child? Are there any prerequisites?
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 4 month programme. The sessions are held once a week for one hour — same time every week. 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.
-
Can I miss the exam this year and then take the exam in the following year?
You can take the exam appropriate for your age whenever you are ready - there is no requirement to take all the levels / previous level exams to appear for the current applicable exam.
