Fine Arts
The arts are an integral part of the Park Tudor curriculum as an exploration of creativity and self-discovery. The Fine Arts curriculum is co-curricular, involving classroom instruction and after-school practice, rehearsals and performances. Park Tudor offers a complete program in music, theatre, dance and visual arts. Students are introduced to the arts as early as Junior Kindergarten utilizing a Suzuki violin program.
The Drama department entertains the Park Tudor community with several productions every year. The Upper School produces a fall play and a spring musical. Seventh and eighth grade students also produce a musical every spring.
Vocalists and instrumental musicians from the Lower School to the Upper School participate in the Indiana State School Music Association (ISSMA) competition each year.
The Visual Arts curriculum offers a wide range of opportunities for students to express their creativity, including drawing, painting, ceramics, photography, graphic design and printmaking.
The school also offers dance classes and private music lessons.

Famous quotes containing the words fine and/or arts:
“Well, a fine opinion he must have of me, if he thinks I’d go to any man without a proper fortune. And this you may tell your Mr. Party of the First Part, that when I wed whatever’s my own goes with me.”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
“If we will admit time into our thoughts at all, the mythologies, those vestiges of ancient poems, wrecks of poems, so to speak, the world’s inheritance,... these are the materials and hints for a history of the rise and progress of the race; how, from the condition of ants, it arrived at the condition of men, and arts were gradually invented. Let a thousand surmises shed some light on this story.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
