Each winter, the Arts and Academic Council sponsors a week-long series of workshops at both the Upper and Middle Schools designed to expose students to various types of performing, creative, and strategic arts.

More than twenty artists from the community, as well as some of our own faculty, volunteer an hour each morning to share their talents with our students. By the end of the week, each student has either produced a unique work of art or learned/improved a skill.

Middle School students in performing arts classes showcase their talents at a Performing Arts Chapel, usually the last day of Artz Blitz. Many student art works are also displayed in our school-wide Reflections Art Show held in the spring each year.
