Teenagers

At JGCL, teenagers express themselves at their best

JGCL's programmes for teenagers promote not only EduDrama skills of vocal and written expression, but enable teenagers to talk to their peers about the pressures of school, family expectations and growing up, free from the pressure of academic achievement. Their role model? An energised facilitator trained to tap teenagers' attitudes and creativity.

Teenager programmes cover all aspects of our EduDrama (speech, drama, language skills) programmes but it does so with the dual goals of assisting in the development of the teenager's confidence, and as a liberal arts platform from which a teenager may begin a lifelong love of a subject, author, or discipline.

Teens' Club

Activities include: voice and speech development, communication skills, acting and performance skills, improvisation, creative writing (including narrative, poetry, reports and script writing), story telling, presentation skills and debate.

Each session is designed to stimulate the imagination with many tasks requiring students to think on their feet. Students learn to improve individually and in teams,to problem solve, think and write critically, use expressive language to a high degree, and persuade others to their point of view. Material used is appealing and relevant to teenagers today, whilst also challenging them to contribute their thoughts and ideas about topical issues and current affairs.

What People Say About Us

“Frances started at the age of 22 months in PlayClub, and has stayed with JGCL right through to SuperCamp(Quantum Learning) and Saturday Club. I’m regularly complimented on her poise and ability to express herself. Thank you, JGCL teachers!”
— Mary Lee, mother of Frances, 16

"I really enjoy working with my Saturday Club students. I take pride in the fact that I have assisted in their development to become confident and expressive young adults, each of whom has a passion for drama and fun!"
— Tara Fields, Teens' Club facilitator


"I feel that in Teens Club you can express yourself in any way and you won't feel embarrassed at all. You will learn how to become a more confident person and be able to socialise better with all your friends. It sort of makes you a better person."
— Alexandra Lee, a member of Teens' Club

"All groups are lively and friendly and new members are quickly absorbed into classes. New students, who may have been diagnosed by parents as 'terminally shy' rapidly transform into confident extroverts as soon as their parents are out of earshot. One such boy once took on the role of Romeo and played it with increasing passion as his mother disappeared down the corridor!."
— Tara Fields, Teens' Club facilitator
