Art and theatre programmes meet an excellent curriculum: where artists are made

Boarding schools with dedicated arts and theatre programmes foster young talent. They combine hands-on experience with theory. This includes fine arts, acting, directing, stage design, dance, as well as film and media. Drama educators and guest lecturers teach in studios, rehearsal rooms, and auditoriums. Students implement their own projects and perform on stage. They also organise exhibitions and festivals, which helps them gain valuable experience. In class, they study art history and acting methods in line with Stanislawski, Meisner, or Lecoq.  The boarding school itself turns into a creative space for young artists to meet peers with common interests. These schools are perfect for young creatives who would like to turn their passion into a career and students who would like to benefit from a holistic education alike. 

Together, we will find the perfect match!
