"In the study of art, students gain a working understanding of the principles of design and become familiar with analyzing and understanding works. Students are encouraged to develop personal reactions and ideas. This helps to nourish the students' awareness through self-referral and reflection; they become more visually aware, flexible, and appreciative of the arts." -Ellen Sorin, Upper School Art Teacher

arts thrive at scheck HIllel From early childhood through high school, arts education is a core component of Scheck Hillel’s curriculum. Upper School offers more than 15 courses in the visual and performing arts, including Advanced Placement and Honors classes. Hillel students have graduated to some of the nation's top art schools, including Pratt Intitute, Berklee College of Music, Art Institute of Chicago and Savannah College of Art & Design, and, as alumni, are enjoying careers in the arts. Musical theatre and after-school electives complement the program. This edition of Lion's Share is dedicated to the arts, marking the final month of the tenth anniversary of the Jordan Alexander Ressler Arts Endowment, which took the school's arts department to the next level, transforming it to become a cornerstone of the Scheck Hillel student experience. Scheck Hillel is grateful for all that Jordan's family has done to enrich the arts and create student opportunity. We honor his legacy as a community.
