The Visual Arts Department is committed to helping every student realize both their creative and artistic potential. They will come to realize the importance of art in their own life and in the community in which they live. Art is central to life! The Performing Arts Department offers opportunities for involvement in stage productions as singers, actors, instrumentalists and vocalists. The 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades present a stage musical each semester. The Jazz Band is also open to students in these grades, while the choral group offers singing ensemble experience. All upper school students have the opportunity to study voice for a semester and the option to elect more advanced study.
