Arts

The arts are an expression of self, an exploration of our imagination, an outlet for our creativity and an opportunity to collaborate with peers. Through music, drama, visual art, and dance, students appreciate the connections that the arts have forged across communities and human experiences.

The arts are essential components of the school curriculum beginning in Early Childhood and continuing through High School. Collaboration, problem solving, innovation, critical thinking, imagination, communication, and empathy are skills developed in an arts classroom.

Courses in music, drama, dance, and visual art are scheduled into the school day for our Early Childhood and Lower School Students. All students are introduced to the stringed instruments in third grade and the elective Lower School Children’s Choir introduces the students to ensemble singing.

Middle School students stretch their creative muscles in dance, drama, visual art, band or orchestra, choir and dramatic oratory. These studies may continue at the High School in Dual-Credit courses, AP courses, and advanced level courses. Additional classes in photography, music technology and composition, piano, movement, theatre production, sculpture, drawing, painting, and ceramics are offered at the high school.

Our dedicated and highly-qualified faculty are committed to expanding the creative talents of each student and most are practicing professionals outside of the classroom.
