Arts
The arts are an essential piece of the Upper School curriculum and community life. Students are required to take at least three semesters in the arts, choosing from a robust selection of electives in the visual arts, music, and theater. Student artwork is showcased in the Harry M. Drake Gallery, and the Upper School's two concerts and three theatrical productions are highly-anticipated community events, all of which take place in the Huss Center for Performing Arts, the school's state-of-the-art, 650-seat auditorium.
Music
Courses are ensemble-based and include two orchestral/choral ensembles, a jazz ensemble, and the Honors Music Seminar. Ensembles perform in two concerts every year, and the extracurricular a cappella singing group performs at school events.
Visual Arts
Coursework is offered in ceramics, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, and the video arts. Workshops enable students to deepen their skills through independent projects and create a small body of work for exhibition in the Harry M. Drake Gallery.
Theater
Topic-based theater courses focus on Theatrical Arts, Acting, Design, Directing, and Production. Three audition-based theatrical performances each year include the Fall Play, the Winter One-Acts, and the Spring Musical.
