Art & Music

Creativity, Confidence, and Risk-Taking

The Lower School art program builds foundational skills while nurturing creativity and confidence. Boys explore drawing, painting, collage, and clay in lessons tailored to the individual student’s abilities, with an emphasis on creative risk-taking and diverse artistic exposure. All boys participate in an annual art exhibit. 

The Lower School music program brings music to all boys, encouraging joy, creativity, and openness. Students sing, play instruments, move, listen, and improvise while exploring a range of genres from around the world. The program promotes self-expression and helps boys understand music’s role in their lives. All boys have opportunities to participate in public performances during the school year.
