“ The schemes of work devised for the Helen O’Grady Drama Academy reveal an imaginative and sensitive approach to the personal growth of children through the performing arts.” – Trinity College, London.

We are very pleased, as from this July, to offer the world recognised Trinity examinations for children and adults who would like to gain a formal qualification for drama.  We will be offering the Speech and Drama (Solo) Grades from Trinity College Grade 1-8 Examinations. We will be following their Acting and Speaking Syllabus. Classes will be held on Saturdays at the Athenaeum in Newlands where we already run our classes.

Class Fees

R340 per term for a half-hour session during the Academy’s school terms. Students MUST attend the Helen O’Grady classes either in our Private Studios or at our Schools. The reason for this is much of the improvisational, speech and movement elements are covered in the Helen O’Grady curriculum.
