performing Arts in the lower & Middle school

From their earliest years at AHN, students are immersed in the performing arts, building confidence and creativity through music, drama, and movement. In the Lower School, students begin with foundational skills in singing, rhythm, and stage presence, progressing from their first Kindergarten musical to a full production by Grade 4. In the Middle School, students deepen their understanding through music theory, instrumental performance, and theater. With opportunities ranging from acting games and improvisation to concerts and plays, students learn to express themselves, collaborate, and develop an appreciation for the performing arts that carries with them into high school and beyond.

performing Arts in the high school

In an exceptional facility and inspiring environment shaped by dedicated faculty, our high school arts program is designed to empower students fully in their human artistic expression with the finest preparation in order for them to excel. We encourage our students to explore new disciplines, find what they love and then set them on a track to develop their passion. Students are given the opportunity to explore both the fine and performing arts path where they can explore big ideas, develop lifelong skills, and become innovative thinkers!

By offering beginning, intermediate and advanced course offerings, students have the opportunity to not only develop a strong artistic foundation, but an opportunity to build on their skills with each passing year! Exposure in the arts helps students develop their problem solving skills, become innovative and creative, and most important, gain personal confidence and a positive way to express themselves.
