Many of our students have been found to possess superior talent in this subject. A popular student-drawn calendar is distributed to all on our mailing list each year. Crafts are offered as extracurricular activities and as part of the Village program. We believe that developing a sense of rhythm, meter, and pitch is important for all children and may have significant benefits for those whose learning is hampered by auditory or kinesthetic difficulties. Music is a valued and required course at Greenwood.
Students receive regular instruction in music appreciation and singing.
Private instruction is available for students who are studying an instrument. Student skits and plays are high points of each school year. All students learn the rudiments of acting, how to memorize lines, and how to develop a character for the stage. An all-school play in which each student has a role is rehearsed for presentation on graduation weekend. We balance the academic efforts of our class day with a variety of seasonal sports activities including soccer, baseball, basketball, biking, martial arts, cross- country and downhill skiing.
