In India alone, the programme has won the prestigious Best Innovative After-School Programme Award by the Indian Education Congress for three consecutive Years (2014, 2015 and 2016). It all began in Australia in 1979, when Helen O'Grady, a trained drama teacher and actress, hired a hall and commenced affordable after school drama classes for students from 3 to 18 years of age. Her aim was to provide a self-development drama programme that would help develop: Enthusiasm and Optimism Ongoing Confidence Self-Esteem Verbal Communication Skills Effective Social Interaction Performance Skills Today, Helen O’ Grady International is the largest worldwide academy of its kind; with a uniquely extensive curriculum, dynamic teachers and easily accessible venues. It is an innovative educational programme with a strong emphasis on the care of all its students. All teachers are certified as trainers after an intensive training programme. They ensure that the highest standards of our curriculum are maintained in all classes. Students attend structured classes for one hour a week, which are divided by age group. Parent Days and annual productions allow parents and guardians to witness the students' progress first hand. In India, Helen O' Grady International has partnered exclusively with Govind Knowledge Ventures since 2003 to promote and propagate this noble undertaking. Together, we are committed to the emotional and intellectual development of students through innovative programmes that can be delivered both as in-school and after-school classes.
