Upper School - Arts

Students take two, year-long arts classes or a combination of arts and electives at all times. To graduate, they must complete at least one course from each of the four disciplines: Dance, Music, Theatre and Visual Arts.

Arts classes are taught by professional artists, dancers, and musicians, who believe that a well-rounded education depends upon an understanding of the creative process that only participation in many art forms can produce.
