Africa Franchisee of the Year Award 2011 goes to Cairo!

Cairo Principals, Maija Lamu and Jaylan El Zoheiry, were presented with Africa Franchisee of the Year Award 2011! The award goes for their outstanding work in Cairo, which has been done with great energy and enthusiasm despite the difficulties going on in the country this year. Over their years of operation, they have consistently grown the Academy.

The Helen O’Grady Drama Academy is a worldwide drama institute founded in 1979 in Australia. Today the academy has branches all over the world and is the largest in Africa. The Cairo branch was founded in 2007 with around 100 students, from which it has grown rapidly into the number of over 1,000 students today!

Helen O’Grady Drama Academy helps children find their personal strengths. The academy’s program is developed to boost children’s confidence, self-esteem and communication skills, encompassing 15 years of a child’s life. This is why there are numerous examples how the drama classes have helped an insecure and withdrawn child became more open, confident and outspoken.

Children can take part in the program either in school as part of school curriculum or as an after school activity, or in the evening studios which are located in different parts of Cairo. In 2012 the Helen O’Grady Drama program is carried out in many international schools around Cairo including MAADI BRITISH INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, NEW CAIRO BRITISH INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, CAIRO ENGLISH SCHOOL and others. The evening studios are located in 6th OF OCTOBER CITY, HELIOPOLIS, MAADI and NEW CAIRO.

Congratulations again Helen O’Grady Drama Academy Cairo franchisees Maija Lamu and Jaylan El Zoheiry!
