Art
Our arts program has a number of important goals. We seek, as part of our focus on American studies, to expose students to the careful study of art and music history. We also provide students with the skills necessary to create meaningful works of art on their own. Finally, we place great emphasis on inculcating in our students an interest in seeing and thinking about gallery and museum exhibits, plays, operas, musicals, and other theatrical performances, contemporary film, and modern and classical dance.
