Arts

Express Yourself

The best problem solvers are creative thinkers, so the arts are a central part of our academic program and time spent is equal to or greater than the other academic disciplines.

We believe every mind is a creative one, and we know that the power of the arts extends beyond the studio. In fact, there is growing empirical evidence that engagement with the arts leads to

• Stronger academic records across all subjects, such as math, humanities, and science
• Higher rates of civic engagement, including voting and volunteering
• An increase in empathy and compassion for others
