Drama goes beyond the stage

Drama teaches empathy, communication, self-control, and discipline. We use it to reinforce the rest of our school curriculum. Students build many of the sets for our Middle School musical, giving them an integrated learning experience in drama class that can touch subject matters like art, math, and architecture. Students learn about ancient Greece, philosophy, art, music, and more. Drama exemplifies integrated learning.
