Ethos: Our school, with over 60 years of teaching experience, is founded on a desire to provide confidence, clear speech, and a life-long love of acting, literature, and theatre to the masses. We believe that speech and drama classes benefit students of all ages, whether you start at age 3 or 33. But of course the sooner you start the longer you will be able to reap the benefits of clear speech, communication skills, creativity, emotional intelligence, and much more.

Step 1: ages 3.5-5, 1 hour, €20 per class. This class provides a great introduction to the world of speech and drama. Poetry speaking, mime, stories, improvisation, exercises for clear speech, and lots of fun games.

Step 2: ages 5.5-7: 1.5 hours, €30 per class. This class bridges the gap between step 1 and the junior class. With the options to take part in Feis Maitiu competitions and an Initial speech and drama examination at the end of the year. 

Junior: ages 7-10. 2.5 hours. €50 per class. Option to do a half class (€25). This class is broken into the speech class -- poetry speaking, exercises for clear speech, reading aloud, story-telling and public speaking -- and drama class -- group scenes, improvisation, mime, and character work.

Intermediate: ages 10-13. 2.5 hours. €50 per class. Option to do a half class (€25).  This class is broken into the speech class -- poetry speaking, exercises for clear speech, reading aloud, story-telling and public speaking -- and drama class -- group scenes, improvisation, mime, and character work.
