WHAT WE OFFER

 

MAIN SCHOOL (Ages 4-13)

Our emphasis in the Main School is on fun and confidence-building in a safe environment. Younger children are always accompanied by a chaperone.

Classes are divided into 3 groups based upon school year and run for three hours - one hour of drama, one hour of dance and one hour of singing.

Each school year, the Main School performs two shows: A Christmas Pantomime and our Summer Spectacular in July.

At the end of every summer show, the Lincoln Academy awards ceremony takes place. These awards are given to children who have worked hard and excelled in each of the different disciplines (drama, dance and singing). Awards are also given for the most promising student and student of the year.

Following specialist tuition in Drama, Dance and Singing, together with workshops held by West-End practitioners, our Senior School year culminates in the performance of a popular West-End musical at a professional venue.
