Performing Arts

The performing arts are an integral part of school days at Laurel and a significant piece of the school’s legacy.  From the sounds of dancing feet to the music of Italian arias, students are engaged in the arts from early childhood through twelfth grade.

Our approach to the performing arts curriculum balances process with product.

Emphasis is placed on building skills and making artistic choices. We encourage girls to embrace creative challenges and to think critically about the arts.

We view the arts as opportunities to come to know a rich variety of cultures by exploring many types of music, dance and drama.  We celebrate the interdisciplinary relationship among the performing arts. 

In aspiring to help each girl at Laurel School fulfill her promise, the performing arts faculty is committed to bringing each girl to her full potential in each art form.

Dance, drama, general music, instrumental music and vocal music are offered to each student, and each girl is encouraged to discover her passion. Through art history, music theory, dance and drama technique and performance classes, students leave Laurel with an appreciation for the arts and with the skills to allow them to enjoy the arts for the rest of their lives.
