Activities

The student’s time is occupied not only with academics but also in collateral instruction in art, music, dancing, and physical education.

Art

Art in the Lower School is a time of exploration and development of skills. The structured teaching encourages the children to develop their own imaginations and talents as well as an awareness and appreciation of design in their environment.

Music

The music program teaches children to sing and appreciate great music. The music curriculum includes: ear training, theory, music appreciation, sight singing, and preparation for the daily chapel service, the Christmas concert, and spring presentations.

Lower School String students may take violin or cello as part of a "mini-class" which is offered during the regular music class period.

Scottish Dance

Instruction in Scottish dancing with our world-class instructors is not only excellent physical exercise but also helps develop precision of movement and coordination of body and mind.
