Co-curricular Activities at your School
ISPA’s Co-curricular Activities (CCAs) focus on nurturing the creativity and personal growth of students outside of the classroom through the performing arts.
Our singing, dance and drama programs invite students to explore interests outside of the curriculum while developing their confidence and social skills in an environment of like-minded individuals.
Benefits of ISPA’s Co-curricular Activities
ISPA’s CCAs are designed to build communities in schools that celebrate and appreciate the transformative benefits of the performing arts. These benefits include improved:
- Academic performance
- Communication skills
- Public speaking skills
- Emotional intelligence
By participating in our CCAs, students gain a wider perspective of the world. Many schools and universities appreciate co-curricular activities on resumes as they highlight transferrable skills, including the commitment and drive to succeed.

Why schools choose ISPA
In addition to being well-versed in the performing arts, ISPA’s team of Instructors is highly experienced in classroom and behavioural management. This means that classes are a stress-free experience for teachers, and more time can be spent on skill acquisition and development.
Why parents choose ISPA
Many parents find our CCAs a great option for weaving a valuable activity into their child’s day that fits around their work schedules. We run our classes before school, at lunchtime or after school at your school, eliminating the stress of travelling to another venue.
Steps to launching a CCA Program at your School
1. Get in touch
Contact our friendly team to discuss launching a Co-curricular Activities Program at your school! We require a minimum of 10 students for any class to proceed, so provided there’s interest, we can start at the beginning of next term!
2. Find a suitable venue at your school
Depending on the size of a class, we can run our programs in school halls, gyms or classrooms.
3. Schedule your end-of-program performance
We love showcasing the talent of your students and encourage schools to organise an end-of-program demonstration performance. This gives students the opportunity to work towards a goal and share their learnings with the school community.
