THE ARTS

We believe meaningful engagement with the arts is integral to scholarship and active citizenship. To reflect this value, every school employs full-time arts educators as part of their core academic team that teaches all scholars. We also offer a variety of after-school activities and partnerships to support specialized growth and training in the arts.
