Arts
US offers an art program for its boys that helps each student to grow and mature in their artstic pursuits. To participate in many of these programs, the freshmen at the upper school usually take Intro to the Arts, exposing them to fine arts, music, and drama. (This class is required to go into the next fine arts or drama levels, unless the student auditions for the Glee Club and is accepted.) At the lower school, all students are required to take some form of art class; different offerings are available to different grades.

“Insurrection is an art, and like all arts has its own laws.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
