Performing Arts (MS)

The Performing Arts Department will offer a wide variety of creative outlets, each with performing opportunities. It is a goal of the department to help students develop their theatrical talents and musical creativity. Students may perform both at school and in the surrounding communities. Each ensemble and drama class will expose the students to a wide variety of artistic genres, ultimately creating a life-long enjoyment of the performing arts.

Theatre I must be completed before a student may take advanced courses in theatre. Theatre I is also taught in the upper school.

Middle School required courses: Music 6, Music 7, and Drama 7

At the successful completion of Music I or Theatre I in the eighth grade, 0.5 upper school credit is awarded towards the visual/performing arts  graduation requirement. The final grade earned in the course will appear on a student's upper school transcript and is counted in a student's upper school GPA.
