Theater Arts
Kg-Grade 5

I believe that a teacher should uphold the quality of teaching, be responsible to act as a role model and fulfill obligations to construct a learning environment to meet the needs of each student.

Dance and Drama

ES Theater Arts curriculum is designed to provide KG – Gr. 5 students an artistic learning experience through the integration of the two disciplines of arts “Dance and Drama”.  The units of study emphasize on the fundamentals of theater, exploring the arts as a means of human expression and communication, which aims towards the development of individuals’ artistic excellence and intellectual achievement.

Performances

Throughout the year varied productions are available to students to put into practice what they have learned in the class and apply the skills and techniques they’ve developed in the classroom study. This includes the ES cultural show, the all-school musical production, the ES annual Christmas production, the ES Star Kids Discovery, and ES the end of the year show.
