Developing each child's voice 

The Davis Academy is leading the way nationally in comprehensive, integrated Theatre Arts Education. The Theatre Program reaches Fourth-Eighth graders on a daily basis where students form vocally confident and empowered identities, develop an awareness of the world around them; and learn to work collaboratively. Theatre is connected into every other class content area from Jewish Studies to Science. Over 65% of the students are involved in the Theatre Program whether in the annual musical, the exploratory, electives, or after-school programming. Students are introduced to the building blocks of Theatre Arts skills and knowledge through applying basic theatre terminology, stage directions, physical skills, kinesthetic movement, emotional recall, playwriting, collaborative design and group performance projects.
