ARTS AT THE VILLAGE SCHOOL

At The Village School, we have integrated a bountiful scope and array of fine and performing arts education, both curricular and extracurricular throughout our school community to promote, engage, and connect with the arts, arts education, and artistic growth for all students.

Our comprehensive arts courses stimulate academic and social growth, higher academic achievement, and cohort and project-based learning. The arts also help students uncover new passions. Students who actively engage with the arts learn valuable lessons about the importance of hard work, dedication, and teamwork, and also discover a powerful way to express themselves in life. The arts create a healthy connection between your child and their classmates, as well as a meaningful integration within our larger community. They’ll experience the joy of creating something together, and the pleasure of sharing their gift with others, through concerts, theater performances, and exhibits.

The Village School collaborates with Juilliard’s Creative Classroom, a collection of teaching resources, lesson plans, challenges, and activities to help deepen your student’s understanding of their arts focus and provide them with even more opportunities to challenge, sharpen, and grow their artistry, understanding, and creativity. Through this program, students develop critical thinking skills, collaboration abilities, and self-confidence, which are essential for success in all areas of life. By engaging with world-class artists and repertoire, students gain a deeper understanding of the performing arts and their role in society, enriching their overall educational experience.

Self-expression takes many forms in our visual arts program: drawing, painting, pottery, sculpting, photography, and digital media.
