Performing and Visual Arts
The Performing and Visual Arts program is a vibrant cornerstone of our comprehensive STEAM curriculum that fosters creativity, innovation, and design-based thinking. Our students gain valuable analytical, theoretical, and technical skills from professional faculty artists as they channel their passions and aspirations in music, theatre, and visual arts. They enjoy rich outlets for self-expression — and the benefits of collaboration with their arts community in studio practice, rehearsals, and performance.
Performing Arts
Embedded in our STEAM curriculum to promote cross-disciplinary learning, creativity, and collaboration, our performing arts program offers students the opportunity to explore music (theory, instrumental study and performance, music technology, and choral study and performance), and theatre (acting, advanced musical theatre, directing, and technical theatre). In all of the performing arts offerings, there is an emphasis on technique building, risk-taking, and the development of personal vision and voice.
Visual Arts
As a valuable aspect of our interdisciplinary STEAM approach, our visual arts program enables students to develop technical skills and a design-thinking orientation in introductory to advanced courses. In fully equipped studios led by practicing artists, students refine their two- and three-dimensional art skills in areas such as drawing, painting, photography, ceramics, metalwork, sculpture, fiber arts, the visual book, and the theory of aesthetics. Top-level recognition in esteemed competitions, such as the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, highlights the integration of art and critical thinking in our high-achieving students.
