ISR Drama Department

We aim to develop well-rounded students who have interests and talents in a variety of areas. Drama is an integral part of the ISR curriculum to achieve this goal. Along with Music and Art, students develop their creativity through the Drama program as well as learn new life skills such as public speaking.

Drama at ISR

Drama is growing at ISR, and this year students have the opportunity to study drama in years 7 and 8. The drama curriculum is linked to the English curriculum, and students develop speaking skills and confidence through acting classes, plot analysis, and stagecraft. Students from kindergarten to grade 9 have the option to choose additional Drama classes during Period 9, which are offered by SEA.

The drama program can be taken advantage of in the following ways:

SEA Drama Club: Students from Kindergarten to grade 6 can select drama as an elective. In this club, they explore group work and interaction using drama, theater, games, and strategies. Students may perform short scenes for an audience.
Arts elective in grade 9: Students in Grade 9 have the option of choosing Art, Music, or Drama. The Drama curriculum consists of two major parts. Students are instructed in the art of giving effective presentations and public speaking. The second part of the curriculum focuses on transferring the written word to the stage; what does it take to put on a short play? What is the role of the director and actor? What other aspects could enhance the performance?
