Arts

We offer a comprehensive arts program for our Kindergarten to Grade 7 students. 

Music in the Junior School focuses on the four principal elements of music education -- performing, appreciation/listening, creativity, and analysis – through singing, speech, movement, and playing instruments. Our program enables all students to explore, create, express, and communicate thoughts, images, and feelings through music. It also lays the groundwork for life-long involvement in music making and music appreciation.

In Grades 6, students learn to play the ukulele, and in Grade 7, they learn to play one of the concert band instruments. The goal is to develop confident and expressive musicians who enjoy collaborating to create music.

The Visual Arts program strives to develop students’ creative abilities so that they can express themselves through visual media. While fostering an appreciation of a wide variety of art forms, we help our students develop skills in drawing, painting, sculpture, paper arts, and printmaking. We support art appreciation through exposure to art of various styles, historical periods, and cultures. Reflection on students’ own work as well as the work of others helps students stretch themselves creatively while enjoying the beauty and variety the visual arts offers.
