Pre-Teen Programs

Passage's pre-teen programs allow students to explore, build, and expand their skills in the areas of visual and performing arts. They learn basic techniques of drawing and painting and learn about the theatre arts progression.  Through the process, students develop poise, discipline, and teamwork.

Programs are custom-designed around the requirements of the sponsoring organization, which can range from in-school, after-school, or summer-camp programs. Experienced and talented educators guide the students through the process of developing, writing and acting out their own theatrical production. Passage teacher/artists are highly experienced in the application of "Playmaking", a powerful system for improving literacy, self-esteem, and self-confidence among pre-teen youth.

The slideshow at right presents some images from pre-teen playmaking programs.
