About the Program

The Arts lie at the heart of the curriculum at LREI. Throughout the three divisions, students have experiences with studio arts, music, drama, movement, dance, wood working, photography, and the digital media arts. The Arts program is closely integrated with the Core Social Studies curriculum, encouraging each student to develop a personal vocabulary of expression, while building confidence as students explore a wide range of materials and techniques.

Students come to understand there are numerous approaches to solving a problem and risk taking becomes a natural part of their creative process. The Arts in the Lower School include studio arts, music, drama, woodworking and movement. In the Middle School students have experiences with studio arts, music, drama and digital media. Our High School students have opportunities to work in the studio arts, music, drama, digital media, filmmaking, and photography.

Throughout the year student work is celebrated in exhibitions, drama productions, and dance and musical performances. There are monthly evening “CoffeeHouses” in which students, from the Middle and High Schools, arrange their own musical performances. Theatrical productions include annual Middle School and High School plays and musicals.
