About CIS’ primary school Arts programmeOur Arts programme plays a vital role in our primary school curriculum. It incorporates music, drama and visual arts in the classroom and as an extracurricular activity for students who wish to advance their learning through music ensembles, choral groups and drama productions. We’ve got modern drama and dance studios, a 500-seat theatre at our Lakeside campus, a black-box theatre, practice rooms and an audio-visual suite. We teach students specific skills about performing and listening, including how to be good audience members. There are opportunities for students of all abilities; we don’t just focus on those with exceptional talents.
What sets our programme apart. We really want our students to understand the history and culture behind their learning. For example, our Grade 4 music students are currently learning to sing two traditional songs – one in Hindi and another in Thai – for their holiday concert in December. This includes learning about the Thai and Hindi languages, customs and traditions.
Our programme also focuses on developing important life skills, like independence, self-discipline, concentration, perseverance and teamwork. These are critical for every student’s success regardless of what career they choose. For example, activities such as band, choir, and theatre require students to work together. Performing live on stage in front of an audience teaches them that regardless of what happens – making a mistake or stage fright – the show must go on.
