Visual Arts
Our program ignites the creative spark within each student, emphasizing the value of the creative process, and celebrating each students' artistic achievements.
Fundamental to the human experience, the Visual Arts give expression and meaning to what is seen, felt, learned, imagined, as well as what is unseen, unfamiliar, and unknown.
Art Walk
Each year, we celebrate our artists of every age with the all-school ArtWalk! Work is displayed in every division, with an art market in the Middle School and an art scavenger hunt in the Lower School.
Where Ideas Take Shape
Gateway Scholars: Visual Art and Design
The Gateway Scholars Program provides unique opportunities for Upper School students with a special interest in Global Citizenship, STEM or Visual Art and Design to craft a distinct curricular and co-curricular path. Supported by a network of on- and off-campus mentors, each Gateway Scholar creates an immersive learning program designed to challenge them, enrich their experience, deepen their understanding and document their process of discovery.
Students on the Visual Art and Design track complete specific electives, submit their artwork to shows or competitions, participate in arts-centered field trips, interview or shadow arts professionals and join arts-related clubs or extracurricular offerings. Their experience culminates with a robust e-portfolio exploring different aspects of their work and their GSP journey.
