First and foremost, we offer courses for all ages from 4-18 in drama, performing arts (drama, singing and dance). Our courses are designed to provide dynamic experiences for both short-term and long-term students.
LAMDA ( London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art) is one of the UK’s most prestigious drama schools offering performance-based examinations and examinations are open to all Academy students aged 7 plus, with the approval of their Academy teacher.
LAMDA exams are recognised educational qualifications and are accredited as an Awarding Body by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) in England. The higher level examinations award UCAS points (for university entry in the UK). As an example, a distinction or a merit award at Grade 8 is worth the same university points as an A grade at AS level.
Simply Theatre Academy is proud to offer its students the opportunity to take LAMDA examinations in Acting and Musical Theatre. Over the past few years, Simply Theatre Academy has forged great links with LAMDA. The Academy holds a 100% pass rate and in 2018, 98 students took LAMDA with 70% of them passing with distinction. 10 students achieved 100/100 – an astonishing result. The LAMDA examiners have been suitably impressed with the Academy facilities, staff, setup and the high standards achieved by our students.
The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) is one of the world’s leading dance examination boards. When training for ISTD exams, candidates develop the skill and understanding of the chosen dance genre at the same time as building a sound technique, by developing the physical ability to communicate through movement in an expressive and artistic way.
ISTD graded examinations build up progressively – and as per LAMDA, some of the higher level ISTD examinations offer students the ability to gain points towards UCAS (University entry in the UK). Simply Theatre students must be at an appropriate level of physical and artistic development to take a dance examination.
At Simply Theatre we know that watching theatre is an important part of our own development and that when children attend productions early on, they go on to develop a love of culture that lasts a lifetime.
On top of cultural trips we arrange periodically, we programme 3 types of productions:
Featuring professional actors, our season for young people and families brings a slice of London’s West End to Geneva.
Featuring student actors, our professionally-directed Academy productions stretch young talent to deliver electrifying performances.
Showcasing local and International artists and acts, our Cabaret season promises the very best of professional evening entertainment.
As you prepare for life after school, whether it be going to university, going to drama school, taking a gap year or getting a job, Simply Theatre will always be there to continue to nurture your career. We offer interview coaching sessions for students, work experience opportunities and drama school coaching sessions. Furthermore, we are always here on hand for any future request.
