The advantages of the K-8 model provide an incomparable foundation for learners and the entirety of our programming is built around a single question -- "What is best for the child?" Children flourish at James River because they are supported as students and as persons. They are given the tools for lifelong learning and the tools of good character to function well in society, leaving it better than they found it.

Middle School Theatre

At James River Day School, we strive to encourage our students to create, act, discover, and imagine. When our students participate in our drama productions they learn the importance of discipline and respect, which allows them to grow.

We appreciate the generosity of our sponsors, who helped us make the dreams of our students come true.

Annie was a wonderful success! We are so appreciative of the students, their families, and all those involved who made such an effort to kick off this reawakening of our middle school theatre program. Kudos to Ann Shenigo for leading the charge!

We're looking forward to the 2023-2024 school year and another Cardinal Theatre production! Watch for an announcement of that show.

Thank you again to our sponsors! We appreciate your support for James River Day School's Cardinal Theatre and look forward to building a relationship with you as we grow.
