Introducing the many benefits of our Northbridge collaboration with the Juilliard School

This year we welcomed our new drama teacher, Philippa Statham, to the performing arts team. Philippa has been living in Cambodia for 3 years and has joined Northbridge from iCAN British International School.

Aurea Tomeski (drama) and Brian Drye (music) have joined Hilary Easton (dance) as our Juilliard curriculum specialists.

Last semester, Hilary and Aurea worked with students demonstrating lessons from the Juilliard Creative Classroom, an online collection of educational resources designed to enhance and supplement our curricula.

They also spent time with our performing arts teachers providing professional training and support in developing our PA programme at Northbridge.

Last semester, as part of the partnership between Nord Anglia Education and the Juilliard School, we welcomed visiting Juilliard Alumni musicians Jeremy Noller (drums) and Jeffrey Holbrook (trumpet) who performed for our students from Early Learning 2 to Grade 4 and explored how music can be used to tell stories.
