How are Stagecoach Schools structured?

10
Early Stages
Children from four to six begging their Stagecoach journey in our weekly Early Stages classes. Our students are encouraged to have fun and make friends while we teach them fundamentals of singing, dancing and acting. The 90 min classes are split into three equal sections for each discipline.
11
Main Stages
Children from six to 18 are split by age into three small groups for our weekly Main Stages classes. Classes are held during term time and last for three hours: one hour for singing, one hour for dancing and one hour for acting, taught by specialist performance arts teachers in those disciplines.
12
Further Stages
Teenagers are welcome aged 14+ to learn new skills or hone their performance skills, while working in a small theatre company. For some, the skills learnt will help them to prepare for higher learning such as theatre and vocational drama schools.
