Arts at GCS

At Glenelg Country School, we believe that the arts play an integral part in the development of the whole person.

The arts have the ability to touch something in the minds and hearts of the human sensibility that can be the wellspring for not only artists and poets, but philosophers and scientists.

To experience what beauty is, to be challenged or moved or angered or puzzled by a work of art brings us closer to our uniqueness as members of the human family. Students are encouraged to be the artist no matter what the medium.

Exploring historical aesthetics as well as developing personal aesthetics are key components to our arts program.

Performing and Visual Arts work together to challenge the student to risk "outside the box." The arts programs seek to expand the individual's perception of the possible by providing many opportunities in exploring mediums in visual arts, music and theatrical performance.
