The Arts at Kent School

Kent students participate in a superb visual and performing arts program. Their talents are developed -- and discovered -- through courses and an array of community activities such as exhibitions, recitals, concerts, musicals and plays. The quality of Kent's program and the caliber of instruction attract many gifted musicians, singers, dancers and artists. Kent is a place where they will be challenged academically -- and given the time to practice, to rehearse, and the venue to perform and share their work throughout the school year. Students who have yet to tap their full artistic potential are equally stimulated by the School's fertile environment for the arts, identifying a gift for photography, printmaking or ceramics in an art class, taking beginning piano or violin lessons, or making their acting debut in one of the three major productions produced annually.

 

A campus visitor will quickly notice the student artwork showcased throughout School buildings, as well as in The Cauldron literary magazine. Musicians and singers perform in numerous groups -- a Chamber Orchestra, Concert Band, Dixieland Band, Jazz Band, Chapel Choir, and the a cappella groups, Kentones and Kentettes.

A world of art -- Kent's lively arts scene is constantly invigorated by lectures, workshops, demonstrations and master classes given by visiting artists, performers and scholars as well as seminars presented by Kent alumni in the film industry. Three times a year, art classes take field trips to museums and galleries in New York City. The school's Performing Arts and Lecture Series brings world-class musical groups and theatre and dance companies to campus throughout the year.
