For Prospective Families
Middle School Arts
Imagination. Expression. Individuality.
LIFE EXPRESSED
We believe every boy—not just the gifted or fortunate—should find opportunity across all areas of school life, including the arts, to support the development of the whole boy.
Visual and performing arts are essential to the Middle School curriculum. Boys explore music, theater, woodworking, and visual arts—not only to develop talents but to discover new interests and gain confidence through risk-taking.
In our new and greatly expanded Middle School, students work with hand and power tools in woodworking, experiment with various visual media, and continue to engage in instrumental and choral music. Theater opportunities also allow boys to grow as performers.
Industrial Arts
Middle School boys explore both traditional craftsmanship and modern design. Starting in woodshop and advancing to 3D printing and laser cutting, they learn to think creatively and work hands-on.
Instrumental
From the first notes in grade five to jazz improvisation by grade eight, students build essential skills in technique, teamwork, and performance, developing musicianship through concert brand and jazz band.
Performing Arts
Through acting, improvisation, and technical theater, students learn to collaborate and take creative risks. Extracurricular productions and annual performances give boys the chance to shine on stage and behind the scenes.
Visual Arts
With a foundation in materials and techniques, students progress to more complex concepts and projects, building craftsmanship, creativity, and confidence as they prepare for the Upper School visual arts program.
Vocal
Through vocal exercises and diverse repertoire, boys develop strong singing habits and musical independence, even as their voices change. Ensemble work fosters confidence and creative expression.
