The Meadowridge School Drama Program is available to all students from Grades 6 to 12. It takes an activity-based, experiential approach to the teaching of performance and dramaturgy, accessible to all regardless of prior experience or knowledge of the craft of theatre.

Graduates of the program have been accepted into the top theatre schools in the country. In contrast, others have pursued other educational and career paths, secure in the knowledge that the performance skills they have gained in the program can be applied to any field of endeavour they choose. There are few career options that do not highly value confidence, self-assurance, presentation and speaking skills, as well as the ability to think on one's feet and respond effectively to challenges. These are the skills emphasized in each class.

Drama classes at Meadowridge School take a "learn by doing" approach and are high-energy and active. Students are challenged to perform at the peak of their ability at all times.

The extra-curricular aspect of Meadowridge Drama operates throughout the academic year. Each new play begins pre-production while the current production is still ongoing.
