Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts

The Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts (drama school), also known as Italia Conti Arts Centre, and formerly known as the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts, is a conservatoire-style drama school based in Woking, England. It was founded by the actress Italia Conti in 1911. Italia Conti delivers courses in acting, musical theatre, and dance, catering mostly for 16+ and 18+ students through its higher education programmes, and for younger learners (3-18yrs) through it's Associate Schools and pre-vocational courses.

Italia Conti is a member of the Federation of Drama Schools formerly Drama UK, and accredited by the Council for Dance, Drama and Musical Theatre (CDMT). Italia Conti was a member of National Council for Drama Training (NCDT) before the organisation dissolved in 2012.

Originally based in London, the institution has occupied various premises throughout its history, as a result of its growth and the evolving needs of its student body. In August 2022, Italia Conti consolidated its operations into a new, bespoke-built facility in Woking, Surrey. This new modern campus includes specialised studios for dance, acting, and musical theatre, as well as recording and television production spaces. The academy then moved to a church building in Lamb's Conduit Street (at #14). However, during World War II, the academy was bombed, destroying all early records.

The school has undergone several name changes throughout its history. Despite these changes, the institution is commonly referred to as Italia Conti, a nod to its founder and her enduring legacy in the performing arts education field.
