PEOPLE ARE TALKING

The students were so engaged and willing to participate…Even the teacher had fun.

Bonnie T., Teacher, Gordon J Lau Elementary

Our school has been fortunate to partner with NCTC for many years now and we look forward to many more collaborations together. NCTC staff is professional, talented and super kind. They bring a lot of joy to the students that they teach and most importantly they provide a venue and opportunities for students to feel safe and express themselves through this art form.

Rosella P., Teacher, Clarendon Elementary

All of the instructors have been wonderful. They are professional, and well skilled in their field and have been creating a fun and nurturing learning environment that engages children in creative play and drama techniques. NCTC drama workshop has helped the children learn to express themselves, understand different perspectives, and build crucial social skills such as cooperation, sharing, self-esteem, empathy and problem-solving skills.
