Primary and Lower School classrooms include their own art center in which students can work on projects during the day. Kindergarten, Lower, Middle, and Upper School students have formal art lessons in our art studios. Our Primary and Lower School music program follows the approach developed by Karl Orff. The curriculum focuses on developing basic music theory, primarily using the voice and percussion instruments, integrated with dance. At every level, we stress appreciation for all types of music, from international folk music to the classics.
All students participate in dramatic performances that are performed for the parents.
Older students may also participate in performances that are performed only for the younger children. Once again, the performing arts weave in other subject areas. For example, each year the elementary students stage a science fair that integrates science and formal presentation to the parents and younger children. As you can guess by now, all costumes and staging are prepared by the students. Click here to return.
