Upper school students are at a stage where self-exploration becomes increasingly important, and the arts offer a meaningful outlet for them to engage with ideas and themes that matter to them personally. Fine arts experiences also help support students’ social and emotional growth during the critical middle grade years. As a department, our goal is to offer courses that reflect student interests and passions, while fostering connection with like-minded peers.
Core electives at ACE include theater, theater tech, physical education, coding, visual arts, improv, and computer science. Additional offerings vary each semester, giving teachers the opportunity to share their own passions and introduce students to new creative avenues.
