Drama
The drama program provides a strong introduction to performing arts. Middle School students develop a foundation of acting, improvisation, and playwriting and have different opportunities throughout the year to perform for the student body. Upper School students can choose from a variety of performing arts classes and are able to participate in three productions during the year.
Visual Arts
The visual arts program exposes students to different mediums and creative processes. As students learn more techniques, creative self-expression and independent work is encouraged through projects and class assignments.
