Arts
The school provides tuition in art, music and drama. Music is taught throughout the school, and is compulsory for all junior students.
Drama is taught as an extempore or scripted class lesson, or in a formal play. Drama productions are staged by Junior and Senior students every year. Each year the four houses present a House Play for the Founders' Day. Supervised by teachers and professional technical crew, students write and produce plays for the Inter-house Drama competition.

Famous quotes containing the word arts:
“I should say that the most prominent scientific men of our country, and perhaps of this age, are either serving the arts and not pure science, or are performing faithful but quite subordinate labors in particular departments. They make no steady and systematic approaches to the central fact.... There is wanting constant and accurate observation with enough of theory to direct and discipline it. But, above all, there is wanting genius.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Eliot dead, you saying,
“And who is left to understand my jokes?
My old Brother in the arts . . . and besides, he was a smash of
poet.””
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
“The textile and needlework arts of the world, primarily because they have been the work of women have been especially written out of art history. It is a male idea that to be “high” and “fine” both women and art should be beautiful, but not useful or functional.”
—Patricia Mainardi (b. 1942)
