The art facilities in the Middle School are second to none, with multiple dedicated music rooms, an impressive 350 seat 剧院, 和 a recently renovated art room 和 pottery studio. Art classes 通过out the 三个 years of middle school are structured to give exposure to music, 剧院, 和 visual arts, while also allowing students to develop interests 和 skills they may already have.
Students in Grades 6 和 7 follow a rotation of art classes that includes Strings, 剧院, 和 Visual 艺术. In the final quarter of 7th grade, students embark on a collaborative project combining the skills gained in these performing 和 visual arts classes.
In 8年级, the focus is split between a more in-depth dive into Visual 艺术 和 on music creation 和 appreciation in General Music. Both art classes focus on the connections to our journey to Costa Rica, bringing the art they learn alive during our eight day adventure. 看到
