WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT US
Nicola Chetcuti24 June 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. All I can say is that our son (who has learning difficulties) has been attending this drama academy for several years now and the significant positive progress is clear. The academy truly fosters an inclusive, joyful and engaging learning environment. As for social skills, Thomas has also improved on his listening skills, language communication, and the drama class engages in regular group activities which further stimulates his creativity and imagination. At the end of each term it is always so emotional watching Thomas perform in front of an audience which gives him a sense of accomplishment and self esteem! So certainly a 5* endorsement is well deserved! 👍 Bridgette Blanche22 June 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
