Drama is both an art form and a medium for learning and teaching. It can develop the whole person—emotionally, intellectually, imaginatively, aesthetically and socially—by giving form and meaning to experience through acting out. It fosters positive group interaction as students learn to make accommodations in order to pursue shared goals.

The overall goal of Drama is to foster a positive self-concept in students by encouraging them to explore lie by the assumption of roles and by the acquisition of dramatic skills. The imaginative exploration involves setting up a dramatic situation, acting out that situation, communicating within that situation and reflecting on the consequences. It is this reflection which provides the knowledge for self-development.
