The Carol Kristian Theatre School has earned a reputation of being one of the leading theatre schools serving the area of South West Herts and South Bucks. Launched in 1977 as a dance school, we now cover the full range of performing arts and offer drama and singing classes as well as classical ballet, jazz, tap and modern dance both at our Chorleywood and Chalfont St. Peter locations.

Our widespread reputation means that we are often asked to supply children for professional roles including film, television and West End stage productions. Some pupils are selected to perform with national arts organisations - The National Youth Ballet, The National Youth Music Theatre and The National Youth Theatre. Everyone, whatever their ability, gets the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned when they take part in our own ambitious summer show.


"I gained skills through CK that I use every day...whether it's putting
over my point of view assertively in a tutorial group or dancing in
Oxford University Dance Society Productions"
