Programmes

For students aged 3–6

Studio's Early Years courses are created to expose children to great literature from an early age. Young learners will engage with a variety of material in a number of exciting ways, from group reading of fiction, to dramatic poetry recitals, to emotional song performances, all designed to increase students' language skills and confidence.

The Drama course throughout the Early Years programme follows the Trinity Drama Exams teaching content and standards, and children can choose whether to take the exam to obtain the Trinity certificate.

After completing the Early Years course, children progress to Studio Primary English.

Junior English students interact with age-appropriate classic and modern texts, poetry, drama, and song. The three courses help children read more fluently, build their vocabularies, express themselves better, think more clearly, and grow into confident language users. Students also work with non-fiction texts and practise real-world language use — signs, maps, menus, and role play. Writing using correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar is taught explicitly.

Primary English is an academically rigorous, mixed-discipline course in language, literature, and performance for students at the beginning of primary school. Students study a wide variety of literature from numerous genres and authors, exposing them to books that they would otherwise not study in their schools or read in their free time.

Students are taken through a high-impact writing programme where they will learn to compose both conventional five-paragraph essays and personal narratives that reflect on the concepts and themes presented in the novels. One novel (chapter book) is studied in depth over a period of five lessons. Speaking, oral presentation, and listening are taught through group drama performances.

Kids Canon and Teens Canon are part of Studio Education's innovative and ambitious literature-based offering, delivering excellence in reading, writing, public speaking, and thinking. The courses introduce children to the canon of the most celebrated English literature, both classic and contemporary, through engagement with which they excel intellectually and creatively.

In a revolutionary departure from the excerpt- and anthology-based curriculums that typify primary and secondary schools worldwide, Kids Canon and Teens Canon exemplify Studio's values of discipline and rigour in intellectual and creative pursuits — the hallmark of excellence in education. Through the in-depth study of three carefully selected books per semester, the innate curiosity of students is nurtured in a process of Socratic learning, where thoughtful engagement with a range of topics and differences of opinion are encouraged. Students read one-fifth of a novel each lesson and compile essays and stories in their portfolio (their 'red folder'), which they take with them at the end of each semester or week of Holiday School.

Non-Fiction

In harmony with Studio Education's mission of excellence through reading, writing, and thinking, the Non-Fiction course offers students an alternative approach to the literary arts — understanding the world through factual, scientific, analytical, and primary experiences.

Adhering to the essential foundations of the Kids Canon programme, the Non-Fiction course develops students in the areas of analytical reasoning, reflection, and synthesis. Reading Non-Fiction allows students to expand their vocabulary, comprehend universal topics and themes, and develop a confidence to speak on influential events that have shaped the world past to present.

At the end of each book, students deliver a research speech and write an academic essay. Non-Fiction courses are advanced: students must test in. Contact your Learning Consultant for more information.

Comparative Mythology Through Drama

Winter School and Summer School only

In every place across the globe where humans began to emerge over three-hundred thousand years ago, our ancestors expressed their wonder at the mysteries of existence in imaginative explanations of how and why the universe is how it is. Our common heritage is the mythology of the world, from Pangu to the titans to the great turtle to floods and fire and beasts and the nature of evil and of fate.

In these special one-week activities, children will explore our shared human heritage through dramatic interpretation of our ancestors' stories. Students begin the week with an introduction to mythology. Next, they read and analyse two myths on the same topic — one Greek and one Chinese. After grappling with both myths, students collaboratively devise two short playscripts, rehearse and perform them, and document their reflections in a daily Enquiry Journal. On the final day, they deliver an oral presentation and take home their scripts, their journal, and a film of their performance.

Five-day plan

• Monday — Introduction to mythology; read and understand two myths, one Chinese, one Greek; group-devise two playscripts; Enquiry Journal
• Tuesday — Group-devise playscript for Myth 2; mark up scripts; rehearse; Enquiry Journal
• Wednesday — Rehearse; Enquiry Journal
• Thursday — Rehearse; perform; Enquiry Journal
• Friday — Watch the film of their own performance; write a presentation about explorations and experience; children take home two playscripts, film of performance, presentation script, a film of their presentation, Enquiry Journal

Children are arranged according to age: 7–9, 9–11, and 11–13, and according to their Primary English, Kids Canon or Teens Canon level.

Studio Ready is a literature, writing, and grammar programme designed to prepare students to enter Studio's core programmes — Primary English, Kids Canon, and Teens Canon. Studio's core programmes require a student's English proficiency to be above, at, or approaching, native-English level, which is not always the case when English is a student's second or third language. Studio Ready is a literature-based offering, delivering excellence in grammar, reading, writing, and thinking to help students achieve the high level of skills required.

Studio Ready uses the reading lists for Primary English (for levels Initial through Three) and Kids Canon Intermediate (for Level Four) and Teens Canon Foundation (for Level Five), alongside Scholastic grammar workbooks.

Please speak to your Learning Consultant about Studio Ready level placement and pace of progression.

Summer 2027 · The Story of England · 12 to 26 July · ages 11–15

Global learning is not an approach but an action: students place themselves in the diverse contexts of the world and discover it as connected and unbound. Since 2015, Studio's Global Learning programmes have taken students out of the classroom and into the places where history, literature and drama happened — to England, and to the ancient sites of Greece — to learn there, on the ground, with Studio teachers.

In summer 2027 Global Learning returns with The Story of England: fourteen nights at Wasdale Hall in the Lake District, 12 to 26 July. Three subjects taught as classes — History, Literature and Drama — with classes on ten of the fifteen days, seven days out by coach to the stone circles, the Roman forts, Hadrian's Wall, the abbeys and Dove Cottage, a day on the water and a day on Scafell Pike. The programme builds to two showcases, filmed for parents.

Photographs from The Story of England, 2015–2019.

The Story of England is open to Studio students aged 11–15; younger students, from age 8, may be admitted by agreement with their Learning Consultant. Students' academic English level should be TCI or above. Everything is taught in English, as at Studio. Twenty-four places. Enrol through your Learning Consultant.
