Designed for children and young people of all ages and experience levels, from primary school through to vocational training, the RAD Musical Theatre syllabus offers so much more than performance training. Guided by expert teachers, students can build resilience, teamwork and communication skills that will help them thrive at school, in future careers, and both on and off the stage.

Training the next generation of multi-skilled performers

Through singing, acting, and dance, students learn to express themselves creatively, collaborate effectively with others, and build the resilience that comes from performing in front of an audience.

These are skills for life, helping older children stand out not only on stage but also in whatever path or career they choose to pursue.
