It may only be three hours each weekend at StageSchool Ireland, but those three hours truly provide valuable skills that help young people succeed in their childhood, teenage years and beyond.

That's why our mantra is "Arts education for the next generation!" a creative road map for your child's future that is complementary yet independent of normal academic study.

Essentially, relishing the power of performance to harness self esteem, creativity, resilience, self-expression and imagination, (everything your child needs to face this challenging digital age)

Not only that, but what could be more fun than learning these skills while singing, dancing and acting with new friends. Today, these skills are increasingly less likely to be taught in school with budget cuts.
