Fine Arts
All students in lower and middle school participate in music, theater, and visual arts. In upper school, students take fine arts courses as electives. There are multiple bands and orchestras, singing ensembles, and art classes in which students can participate. A variety of theater classes are also offered to upper school students. Each year, there is a middle school play, an upper school winter show, and an upper school spring musical.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Just as Buddhas are covered with gold, so people want fine clothing.”
—Chinese proverb.
“If it were not for the intellectual snobs who pay—in solid cash—the tribute which philistinism owes to culture, the arts would perish with their starving practitioners. Let us thank heaven for hypocrisy.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
