About the Department
Minimize
The Performing Arts Department recognizes the importance of artistic development in the individual and society. Artistic development includes creative artistic expression, technique, knowledge of the classics, a contemporary perspective, understanding of the forms and the discipline required of all artists, and implies an understanding and appreciation of an integrated arts program as well as the arts of various cultures and peoples.

The program provides a training environment for beginning and experienced students in drama, music, and dance. Courses represent a selection of core-curricular classes together with those that fulfill the needs of highly talented young artists. The Fine Arts requirement in the Upper School may be fulfilled in any of the Performing Arts.
