20 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE IN DEVELOPMENTAL DRAMA!

Creativity. Confidence. Communication. For ALL Ages

Helen O’ Grady is celebrating 20 years in South Africa.

While our West Coast Academy is one of our youngest, it has at the heart of it all the pillars upheld by Helen O’ Grady throughout the globe.

Our dynamic curriculum gives students the opportunity to grow beyond the lessons taught in text books and classrooms. It gives them the confidence they need to be the best version of themselves on all stages of life. They are taught and will practice effective communications skills and they are offered a space and the time to release their creativity.

Recently we were blown away by feedback from a mom new to the programme:

Our first contact came before her trial lesson

“… My child is always conscious of other kids and people watching her… won't participate in sports days…. In public she always wants me to join in activities with her or walk with her somewhere.  She won't attend any classes anywhere unless I am with her and then sometimes will not even leave my side…

We heard from mom after the trial 

“…My child couldn't stop talking about her experience and how much fun she had...I couldn't believe how she just came out of her shell and started joining in!!....Looking forward to next week..”

And then…:

“…hello Nastassja! My child says when she has to perform for us 'she won't be afraid this time' ….thanks so much!..”

 And that is why we are going strong TWENTY years on.

If you would like your child to come for a trial please do not hesitate to contact me.

 Here at the Helen O' Grady family we strive toward developing self-confidence, self-esteem and communication skills in all our students. Our positive and dynamic approach really allows for not only the extroverted students but also the introverts to come out of their 'shells' and express themselves freely in a warm and friendly environment. 

Through our extensive theatre-arts based programme the students develop skills which are vital to their future success. 

All our students are a valued part of each class and are made to feel just as special as the next child. Their uniqueness is at all times celebrated and nurtured through our fun and internationally developed activities and that is why our students love their weekly drama classes and keep coming back for more!

Teaching over 50,000 students a week worldwide we belief in our organisation  and that is why we will continue to grow and spread the joys and benefits of the dramatic arts turning our future leaders into articulate, confident and empathetic human beings.

Creative communication at its best
