The arts can
help
the Middle School child navigate the demanding years between
Lower and Upper School.
 Students
often find their voice in and their passion
for the arts during these years. The process of making
art can be a time of tremendous self-discovery and self-reflection.
Making art is about choices in self-discipline,
commitment, play, collaboration, vision, and interpretation.
