The Drama curriculum supports the school’s antiracism and antihomophobia mission. When working with published material, students are asked to evaluate the content and examine the context of each piece with the CFS mission in mind. In student-generated plays, students are encouraged to include dynamics between characters that reflect the diversity of the families present in the Cambridge Friends community and in the world. Similarly, students are encouraged to choose themes, characteristics, and conflicts that resonate with them personally and will act as a medium for social reform.

Drama addresses the needs of students with varied learning styles and different levels of comfort with dramatic activities. During class, students appreciate classic dramatic literature and poetry, and also generate original work. Drama class provides all students with the chance to collaborate, create, self-assess, and encourage their classmates.
