Creative & Performing Arts
Where Imagination Meets Purpose
At Modern International School Rome, we believe that creativity is a divine gift—and expressing it is a vital part of a child’s development. Through the creative and performing arts, our students discover their voice, cultivate their talents, and develop the confidence to communicate, collaborate, and contribute meaningfully to the world around them.
Enriched by global artistic traditions, our arts programme nurtures both imagination and intention, ensuring that creative expression is always purposeful, respectful, and inspiring.
Visual Arts: Exploring Beauty Through Creation
Art at MIS Rome is more than drawing or painting—it’s about exploring identity, interpreting the world, and developing aesthetic awareness. Students engage in hands-on experiences across a variety of media, including:
- Drawing, painting, and sculpture
- Mixed media and cultural crafts
- Design and visual storytelling
- Calligraphy and geometric Islamic art
Through these activities, students learn to appreciate beauty as a reflection of divine creation, while developing skills in observation, innovation, and fine coordination.
Drama & Theatre: Confidence in Performance
The stage becomes a place of growth at MIS Rome. Our drama programme allows students to step into character, collaborate with peers, and bring stories to life. Whether presenting moral tales, historical reenactments, or student-written plays, students build:
- Public speaking and communication skills
- Self-expression and empathy
- Poise and presence under pressure
Respectful of Islamic principles, our performances celebrate culture, values, and storytelling that uplift and educate.
Music & Nasheed: Expression with Soul
We offer a values-conscious music curriculum that emphasizes rhythm, vocal strength, harmony, and cultural awareness. Our nasheed programme, in particular, allows students to connect their voices with their faith, reciting meaningful lyrics in Arabic, English, and other languages.
Opportunities include:
- School nasheed choir and solo recitations
- Percussion and rhythm workshops
- Exploring sounds and instruments from around the world
Through music, our students build emotional intelligence, teamwork, and a deeper connection to their heritage and community.
Arts Integration Across the Curriculum
We don’t confine creativity to the arts room—our entire curriculum is infused with imaginative learning. From science experiments to storytelling, students are encouraged to explore ideas in dynamic, creative ways.
We also showcase talent through:
- Art exhibitions
- Drama performances and nasheed competitions
- Interdisciplinary creative projects
- Themed cultural days and school events
