Drama

The world we live in is filled with creative expression. Drama courses at Athens Academy provide students the opportunity to develop the skills necessary to become effective communicators, spontaneous thinkers, and positive team contributors. In fact, many of our students have gone on to successfully pursue the theater arts at the collegiate and professional levels.
