Concepts and techniques reappear with greater depth throughout each course and grade level. Students build an understanding of themselves and the world by thinking independently, working together and exploring a wide variety of cultural perspectives.
Interdisciplinary projects are frequent in the arts.
A strong program of extracurricular activities supports the curriculum in the Middle and Upper Schools. A variety of media, methods and concepts provide a framework in which students explore creative expression and develop confidence and skill in studio art. In dance classes girls are encouraged to take creative risks and to develop and affirm their creative potential in a non-threatening environment. In drama, students learn by doing, taking full advantage of the black box theater as a space for acting, directing, designing and producing. These designated teaching spaces reflect the school's commitment to arts education.
