Artistic Expression
Students star on stage—and behind the scenes—in Winsor plays and concerts throughout the year. Our beautiful new performing arts center supports a wide array of classes and co-curricular opportunities in dance, theater, choral, orchestral, and contemporary music.
Winsor students participate in every aspect of our performing arts productions, from designing and producing sets and costumes to playing, directing, acting, dancing, and more. We encourage our students to step outside their comfort zones in the safe space Winsor provides. Along the way, they build resilience, learn to work as part of a team, and gain the confidence to present themselves in public, all of which prepare them for future success in their personal and professional endeavors.
Expressive Potential
Studying the performing arts provides students with invaluable skills that extend beyond the stage.
“My students inspire me by their whole-heartedness, curiosity, and devotion to their passions and interests. They also make me laugh on a regular basis.”
Performing Arts Department Head
Every Lower School student has ample opportunity to explore dance, music, and theater in general classes, electives, and the Performing Arts Block. The Upper School Performing Arts program has introductory- and advanced-level classes that provide opportunities for students to try something new or dive more deeply into an area of interest. The After School Theater Program serves Lower and Upper School actors in the fall, winter, and spring.
