At Numont School, theater at school is much more than a simple activity — it’s a core part of how we learn and grow. Every term ends with a special experience: a school play that fosters creativity, communication, and teamwork.

And yes, it also creates memories that last a lifetime.


🎤 Why Is theater a key part of learning at school?

School theater isn’t just about fun — it’s a powerful educational tool. Through theater, students at Numont:

  • Reinforce academic learning (curriculum topics, values, languages, etc.)

  • Gain confidence through public speaking

  • Improve memory, active listening, and improvisation skills

  • Develop empathy by stepping into different characters

  • Learn the value of collaboration towards a shared goal

All of this happens in a supportive environment where mistakes are embraced as part of the process, and where final applause celebrates effort and teamwork — not perfection.


🎬 How we prepare school plays at Numont

Each class prepares its own play under the guidance of their teachers. Sometimes we adapt classic stories, other times we create scripts linked to classroom themes or student ideas.

Every student plays a part:

  • Lead and supporting actors

  • Narrators

  • Set designers and sound technicians

  • Costume coordinators

  • Stage assistants

At Numont, it’s not about the size of the role — it’s about everyone’s involvement. Each child finds their place and contributes to bringing the play to life. The pride is evident on performance day!


🌟 Beyond the stage: lasting lessons

Our school plays leave a lasting impact:

  • The shyest students find their voice

  • Self-esteem and confidence grow

  • A strong sense of team spirit develops

  • Families witness their children’s growth in a unique way

  • Teachers see their students shine in a different light

These moments go far beyond acting — they nurture personal development and lifelong skills.


🎉A memorable end to each term

For many families, the end-of-term play is one of the most cherished moments of the school year. It’s not just about watching a fun performance — it’s about seeing the result of weeks of learning, dedication, and emotion.

At Numont, theater is more than a stage — it’s a celebration of growth, creativity, and community.
