| The
personality and atmosphere of our Middle School
really surfaces through our enrichment programs
like fine arts, and clubs and activities.
Every student participates in fine arts five days
a week.
The Middle School arts program
offers an introduction to visual arts, music classes
- all students spend at least one semester learning
to play a string instrument! - and theater. By
the time they head off to Upper School, most will
have begun to specialize in one or two areas.

skills can be developed for regular academic
classes
