The Arts:
Visual and Performing
Visual Arts
Our art studio houses a state-of-the-art kiln and ample space dedicated to clay, woodworking, printmaking, painting and collage. Students' artwork is displayed throughout the building during the school year, as well as in October at the F.R.O.G.S./Great Swamp environmental exhibit and in May at the annual art show.
Performing Arts
Drama and Music have always been an essential component of a Mizzentop Day School education. Our facility offers an auditorium with a stage and a sound system, a renewed enthusiasm for drama, music, choral and instrument lessons.
Our Pre-K program explores instruments, melody and rythym.The lower school grades practice with recorders and simple hand instruments such as hand bells and drums. The middle school cirriculum places an emphasis on proper choral technique.
Drama classes perform one-act plays, skits and plays throughout the school year.
Chorus includes popular annual recitals such as the Thanksgiving Assembly, the Winter Concert and our Spring Musical.
Music lessons are encouraged during the school day and after school with adjunct faculty. As a group, students perform at concerts and during graduation. Eighth Grade students take a course in guitar and perform during graduation ceremonies at the end of the year. We offer instrument lessons on woodwind, percussion, strings and horns.
