Arts & Music

Doane Stuart's dedication to the "joy of discovery" finds perfect articulation in the encouragement of interest and enjoyment of the arts.  Students of all ages learn, simultaneously, the enjoyment of creative expression and the skills that can make that expression such a satisfying, life-long experience. Frequent gallery displays and recitals offer students the opportunity of presenting their art to the School community.  In the Upper School, careful attention is given by the faculty to the creation of substantial student portfolios for submission to college and university art departments.

In addition to creative art activities, students are encouraged to appreciate the arts of different ages and cultures.  Art history and music history expand our understanding of other disciplines, and enhance and deepen our own artistic expression.
