ARTS - North Cross School

In addition to our robust arts curriculum, there are many opportunities for students to explore the arts. How many schools have an on-campus art gallery that features area artists' work throughout the year? The Middle School talent show and the Upper School's Muses at Bay showcase both student and faculty talent. A testament to the motivation of the students at North Cross, a number of students choose to participate in outside artistic ventures, winning local art show and film awards, participating in local theatrical productions and competing in dance and instrumental competitions. Because art is integrated into—and required at—every grade level, students learn to appreciate the many ways in which they can express their creativity.
