Fall Arts Weekend & Spring Arts Weekend

The events of Fall Arts and Spring Arts are some of the most demanding cooperative efforts of the school year. To observe the months of hard work and preparation and have these efforts culminate with presentations before family and peers is truly significant.

FALL ARTS WEEKEND
Over the three days of this event, there are performances by the chorus and orchestra, chamber music ensembles, performances of the work of student composers, drama productions, creative writing readings, and the exhibition of new works of art. In addition, there is ample time for faculty and parents to share successes and concerns. An annual Open House for prospective students and families is held at the school during this time. Following the Fall Arts Weekend, there is a Thanksgiving Holiday. Release begins after the last arts presentation on Sunday.

The Spring Arts Weekend in May is similar in structure and activities as the Thanksgiving Festival, with the addition of African drumming and dance performances.
