Performing Arts

Through participation in the performing arts, students broaden their communication skills, expand their creative perspectives, increase self-discipline, develop critical and evaluative skills, take pride in their own accomplishments, and strengthen their sense of community by working with others to achieve common goals.

All students have the opportunity to participate in music, dance and theater classes and to perform in one or more of these disciplines. Students who show special interest or talent have many opportunities to work on independent projects designed to meet their aptitudes and needs. Interarts and interdisciplinary activities are commonly planned so that students may become aware of how the arts touch all aspects of human experience.

Major theatrical productions and concerts of music and dance are presented throughout the school year. Students in the Middle and Upper Schools may audition for these productions. Students interested in the technical aspects of theater are also encouraged to participate.

Whether writing a poem, composing a piece for Orff instruments in music class, choreographing a dance with classmates, or creating abstract collages in the art studio, our young students joyfully express their creativity using a multitude of media.
