Best School for Theatre, Dance and the Performing Arts – The Finalists 2023 – 2024
The following schools are our extraordinary top-5 schools and Finalists for the 2023-2024 SchoolsCompared.com Best School for Theatre, Dance and the Performing Arts. Every school here balances the academic life of the child with meaningful investment in the richness of broader Performing Arts education from stagecraft, Dance and music, to acting, broad and rich integration of drama within the curriculum – and investment in the facilities to deliver an expensive not-arguably critical aspect of any school’s commitment to whole child development.
All the schools listed, outside the Performing Arts curriculum, seek to balance this with outstanding breadth of academic, technical and ECA options for students to ensure that every child can meet his or her individual ambitions, potential, and ability.
Each of the schools here endeavour to provide added value to each child’s journey to ensure that every student leaves school meeting or exceeding baseline academic and whole child expectations.
When we have looked at schools, we have weighted those that plough back investment into facilities, teacher salaries, resources and school improvements year-on-year to improve education for children.
All of the schools shortlisted endeavour to deliver a benchmark for the best Theatre and Performing Arts education for children, available in the UAE, and in almost every case do so with global benchmarks in mind.
Finally, we have looked across all areas of provision, investment, innovation and achievement that support each school being shortlisted.
Theatre, Dance and the Performing Arts have the unique capacity to take us outside ourselves, to see ourselves, express ourselves and create worlds that could be or could have been. They create the most powerful tool for self reflection, and reflection of the Other. They light up the world, uncovering darkness and shining a light on hope. They are the natural barrier against complacency. They unite mind and body in the most extraordinary ways. They create shared community experiences.
They make us…feel.
