Academic Program
The mission of the Choate Arts Department is to foster and nurture each student as an artist and to give each student the requisite tools to be successful.
Numerous of musical and theatrical ensembles provide many diverse performance opportunities for students. Students who are highly motivated have the encouragement and support of the arts faculty to create substantial works of art in any of the three major disciplines: music, theater and visual arts.
If a student exhausts the course offerings of the arts curriculum, he or she may work individually with a member of the arts faculty to design an area of study relevant to his or her passion. For more, visit the course catalog section of our site. Students have a number of opportunities to showcase their talents, including:
- recitals
- original music compositions
- original playwriting
- one-person exhibitions
- dance recitals
- international concertizing
In our Arts Concentration Program, students are provided with individually tailored schedules, with arts classes most terms in concert with courses selected from Choate’s comprehensive curriculum. View more on the Arts Concentration Program.
