Yes, you may learn how to handle a paint brush, a potter’s wheel, or your own voice. You’ll also learn about dedication. You’ll learn that struggling with something but loving it anyway is not an alien paradox. You will be inspired by amazing teachers, most of whom are professional artists, and by plentiful opportunities to perform and exhibit, collaborate and critique. At George School, studying the arts will help you to see the world with fresh eyes (and ears) and to realize how far your creativity can take you.

The new course will help develop students’ analytical and critical thinking skills. A Love for Theater The George School performing arts program allows people from all different parts of the world to express their culture and understanding of theater within our classes and performances. Thinking Extremely Far Outside the Box My Ceramics teacher taught me how to think extremely far out of the box and taught me to be nothing but myself, not just in Ceramics classes, but also in life. She always believed in me and my abilities and most importantly would take the time to teach me new techniques.
