The Arts
Overview
At every stage of their educational development, we encourage our pupils to tap into their creative potential, take risks and explore new artistic approaches. Opportunities abound for our pupils to develop their work alongside passionate and creative professionals and to display and view work in our many exhibitions.
Performing Arts
- Our Performing Arts department aims to make pupils more confident, communicative and empathetic through the study of music, drama, dance and theatre. Taught and run by top industry professionals, our state-of-the- art facilities enable our pupils to get a near-professional experience in all their creative endeavours. There are also opportunities to get involved in the production and technical aspects of running performances and concerts.
Music
- At Stafford International School, your child will have endless opportunities to learn about and make music. In class, we provide a rich experiential environment for our pupils to discover the essential joys and benefits of music. Pupils may further cultivate their talents through our co-curricular activities programme, which offers musical theatre, choir, orchestra, and much more.
Drama
- An education in drama has countless benefits. It teaches creativity, communication and teamwork — essential skills in any career. It also teaches historical and cultural appreciation and allows pupils to examine fundamental human issues through an expressive medium. At Stafford International School, we offer instruction in drama. We provide a safe, non-judgmental environment and encourage full participation. Our annual calendar of plays and musical theatre productions ensure that our pupils will have ample opportunities to showcase their talents.
Dance
Dance combines physical skill with strength and conditioning. It is a powerful outlet for expression and a medium for telling stories. Dance is also an avenue through which pupils can learn about other cultures. Pupils who study dance at Stafford International School develop meaningful concepts of self, human relationships and physical environments. More importantly, they gain self-confidence as they learn the value of practice and discipline. We offer classes in a diversity of dance forms, from ballet to hip hop, for pupils in all year groups. Opportunities for live performance are available throughout the school year as well.
