Upper School Arts

Creativity. Depth. Ambition.

LIFE EXPRESSED



The arts are an essential part of the Brunswick curriculum, aimed at providing every student with a foundation in artistic literacy. In the Upper School, students refine their talents through a highly individualized program, with options to specialize in visual arts (including computer graphics), instrumental music, vocal music, and theater. 

Beyond the classroom, students may participate in a variety of ensembles, theatre groups, performances, and arts clubs. Coordination with Greenwich Academy is a strong component of Brunswick’s arts program: all performing arts productions, extracurricular drama programs, and art and music classes are coed, expanding opportunities for collaboration.
