Music, Dance and Drama

Music

Through our music curriculum designed by Juilliard, every student learns to listen in an engaging way, as well as compose and interpret music themselves. From a young age, your child will explore the fundamentals of melody, first by learning to play the keyboard, then by growing their skills and knowledge as they identify and understand the concept of harmony.

Dance & Drama

Our dance curriculum enhanced by Juilliard focuses on works examining dance from various cultures, history, expressions of human emotion, and literature.

The drama curriculum enhanced by Juilliard will give your child opportunities to lead, listen to other viewpoints from different communities and cultures, communicate ideas and feelings through an artistic medium and experience joy through performance.

Outdoor Learning

TBS Community Garden is a tranquil area for teachers and students to visit, bringing the classroom outdoors.  Growing vegetables, fruits, and herbs gives our students an understanding of where food comes from and helps promote a culture of healthy eating. Our four happy and healthy free-range hens share the garden and taking care of them teaches our students how to care for animals.

Our youngest students at our Early Years campus enjoy imaginative, spacious and green outdoor learning spaces.  These creative areas provide a perfect environment for experiential, play-based learning.  Our mud kitchen is always popular and one of the favourite features for our youngest students.

SKILLS FOR LIFE

At The British School of Warsaw, we believe that student health and happiness are key factors that drive academic success.  Our dedicated pastoral and safeguarding team ensure a safe and supportive environment across the school community for all of our students.

OUR SOCIAL PURPOSE

At TBS Warsaw, we believe in the importance of nurturing a generation of wise and responsible global citizens, who are empowered to make a positive difference both in their local community and on a global scale.

Students take part in many community outreach initiatives, including the Share a Dream programme, which teaches social responsibility through fundraising and volunteering. When they study for the IBDP, students take Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS), in which they collaborate and engage with the local community, developing their skills for real-world issues.

TBS Warsaw works closely with local charity initiatives such as Warsaw Voluntary Mission, Bread for Life and Recipe for Independence, as well as NGOs focused on worthwhile causes. We want our students to witness first-hand the challenges faced by those less fortunate and understand how they can influence and drive meaningful change as individuals and as part of a team.
