The Arts

The arts at SA
Collaboration, critique, empathy, and confidence.
Our arts curriculum is built on interdisciplinary inquiry, personal growth, and creative exploration, mixing historical, theoretical, and practical instruction across visual art, theater, vocal and instrumental music, dance, and visual thinking.
Students act, sing, build, and paint in courses, ensembles, and Intersessions, and 60% of our students take part in theater, music, or dance.
