Drama & Theatre
Empowering lifelong learners through engaging drama.
Drama is an art form, a practical activity and an intellectual discipline. A drama education, which begins naturally with learning through dramatic play, will eventually include many elements of theatre. Through interactive teaching and learning techniques, students are engaged and motivated to enjoy and achieve in drama at Horizon International School. We provide a safe and fun learning environment with a creative and fulfilling atmosphere where learners are encouraged to develop theatre skills, which will be intrinsic to their lifelong learning.
ENGAGING DRAMA
Enriching students' lives through diverse performance.
Performance is high on our agenda at Horizon International School.
We strive to give our students ample opportunities to have access to performance. These can come in many forms, such as the monthly Let’s Perform showcase in the drama studio and Primary and Secondary school shows. We also provide theatre trips, LAMDA Awards, links with theatre practitioners, acting workshops, vocational training opportunities with professional actors and even drama clubs. All our students can challenge themselves and enjoy drama in various activities offered throughout each year group every year.
IMMERSIVE DRAMA
Fostering emotional growth through immersive drama.
Horizon International School’s drama department recognises that social well-being is founded on personal maturity and emotional literacy. Human concerns and relationships are the foundations of much drama. Our lessons provide a safe context to explore such issues. Drama contributes to developing learning skills along with flexibility, empathy and risk-taking. All are rooted in the learning in KS3 and beyond.
From Years 7 to 9, Drama provision is one hour a week, with an option to take Drama GCSE (AQA) at KS4 and A Level (WJEC) at KS5. LAMDA qualifications have also been introduced.
