From preschool to graduation, Maumee Valley students are immersed in the joys 和 disciplines of the stage. Teachers are committed to providing all students with opportunities 和 time to function as 艺术ists by exploring developing 和 refining their creativity 和 self-expression.
Our youngest students learn about drama in their 艺术 和 音乐 类. Formal instruction begins in 3rd grade, where students play creative drama games to develop their observational skills, reduce performance anxiety, encourage their creative imagination, 和 introduce them to dramatic conventions.
In the Upper School theatre, students have the opportunity to advance their knowledge of theatre through an extensive list of courses 和 travel.
