The Visual Arts
Students are encouraged to explore their talents within painting, drawing, printmaking, photography or ceramics, allowing them to experience a wide range of techniques and applications. All students study Art and Design up to the end of Key Stage 3 after which it becomes an external examination option. Cambridge International School has two spacious well-resourced art studios.
Drama
All students study Drama in Key Stage 3 after which it becomes an option for external examination. Drama offers our students a challenging medium in which to explore their individual or group creativity. Through Drama they are able to explore attitudes, ideas and emotions, both in real and imaginary situations within the secure context of the Drama lesson.
Dance
Dance is taught as an integral part of the compulsory Physical Education programme. Through dance our students learn to explore basic body actions so that they can create and repeat short dances inspired by themes and music.
