Overview

Students in every division at every grade level are offered opportunities in visual arts, music, drama, and dance.

At Country Day, we believe the arts connect our students to history, to diverse cultures across the world, to the human spirit, and to their own imaginations. The arts are not extracurricular at Country Day; they are integral to the kind of educational and human experiences we want our students to have.

Students in every division at every grade level learn how to reach their highest level of creative expression through visual arts, vocal and instrumental music, drama, and dance. The entire school community enjoys the remarkable talents of our students and their teachers in a variety of annual fine art events produced by students at all levels, and performed in the Gorelick Family Theater. These include drama productions; musicals; choir, orchestra, and band concerts. In addition, student works at all levels are displayed around campus and in the Dalton Art Gallery, as well as in community exhibitions.

Whether working together to perform a play on stage, learning how to glaze a ceramic bowl, or perfecting a choir solo, our students learn that making art-and appreciating art-is part of the creative experience.
