Helen O’Grady Drama Academy - South Africa’s leader in affordable drama classes for all ages. Unleash confidence and creativity!

For many years, Helen O’Grady worked as a teacher, professional actress and producer/presenter of children's television shows. The more she worked with children, the more she became aware of the need for a self-development programme which would increase confidence and build personality.
The first Helen O'Grady Drama Academy began in Perth, Australia, in 1979. There are now over 150 branches operating globally (many under different branding), with well over 60,000 children attending classes each week! See our story in detail here. Our mission is to empower children and teens with confidence and communication skills using our unique, developmental drama programme.
To achieve these aims, we have an outstanding, 15-year cycle of dynamic, developmental, drama curriculum for students aged 3-18 years. Today, with the ever-increasing influence of technology, we believe the need for our program is greater than ever, if young people are to learn to communicate effectively and achieve a sense of balance in their lives.
If you are a trained teacher, with a warm, enthusiastic approach and believe you can really make a difference in the lives of children, this could well be the opportunity you have dreamt about! If you are selected, our comprehensive training scheme will ensure that you quickly learn how to implement our program effectively and through the application of our proven systems, build a very successful business.
This is an exciting business opportunity and offers both teacher and students great enjoyment, growth and fulfilment. Contact us now and start reaping the rewards of this unique opportunity.
