Success in school and in life goes beyond grades. Children who can communicate with confidence, think creatively, and collaborate effectively are more likely to thrive academically and socially.

For over 35 years, Julia Gabriel Education has been empowering children to reach their potential, combining drama-based learning with structured pedagogy to nurture confident, articulate, and resilient learners. Across its programmes, children develop confident language and literacy skills, as well as curiosity, self-assurance, and the ability to embrace challenges and opportunities.

Julia Gabriel Centre: Inspiring Confident Communication

At Julia Gabriel Centre, inspiring confident communication lies at the heart of every enrichment programme. Its signature EduDrama® methodology blends drama, role play, and storytelling, among many dynamic activities, with structured learning, helping children discover their authentic voice and express themselves with confidence.

Children step into characters, improvise scenes, and retell stories in their own words, practising speaking, listening, and collaborating in a supportive environment. Every activity – from becoming a lion to taking on the role of a listener – builds real-life communication skills, empathy, and confidence.

Julia Gabriel Centre specialist educators are trained in drama, performance, music, linguistics, and early childhood education. Their expertise allows them to design learning experiences that are immersive, experiential, and tailored to each child’s growth. Parents often notice children emerging from classes more willing to speak up, share ideas, and participate confidently in school and at home.

Growing with Children

Julia Gabriel Centre offers programmes for children from infancy through adolescence, carefully matched to developmental stages:

• Early Childhood Programmes (18 months to 3 years): Parent-accompanied sessions spark a love for language and early communication skills through songs, stories, and Purposeful play.
• Drama and Communication Programmes (Nursery to Teens): Children explore characters, collaborate in groups, and tell stories in their own words, developing creativity, confidence, and teamwork.
• Readers and Writers Programmes (Nursery to Primary 6): Beyond phonics and comprehension, children strengthen vocabulary, storytelling, and expressive writing skills.
• Debate (Primary 4 to 6): Older children develop persuasive speaking, critical thinking, and respectful listening – skills they carry into school and everyday life.

Julia Gabriel Preschool: Leading Early Childhood Education

Julia Gabriel Preschool provides a full-day bilingual curriculum from Pre-Nursery to Kindergarten 2, preparing children for primary school and beyond. The programme fosters cognitive, social, and emotional development, alongside fluency in English and Mandarin.

Preschool teachers are highly qualified early childhood educators, bringing expertise in child development, curriculum planning, and play-based learning. Enrichment opportunities – including speech and drama, music and movement, and Mandarin immersion – complement the core curriculum, helping children develop creativity, curiosity, and confidence within a nurturing, holistic environment.

Preparing Children for the Future

Both Julia Gabriel Centre and Julia Gabriel Preschool equip children with the skills they need to thrive in a changing world. Respectively, specialist educators cultivate communication, critical thinking, and collaboration through immersive, experiential learning; early childhood experts provide a strong academic and social foundation, ensuring children are ready for primary school and beyond.

With enrichment centres and preschools across Singapore – including Forum, Greenwich V, Keppel Bay, New Bahru, Tampines Mall, and The Woodleigh Mall – Julia Gabriel Education makes experiential, joyful, and inclusive learning accessible to families island-wide. Children are inspired to communicate with confidence, embrace learning, and explore possibilities – building the skills, curiosity, and resilience they need to thrive today and in the future.
