The Arts

To us, the arts are essential to a rich, satisfying life. Not only are they key to self expression, critical problem-solving, and the development of both sides of the brain, they also give us a window into other cultures and their ways of thinking. That’s why they play a major part in the Seven Hills education. With so many thespians, pianists, sculptors, and painters in our midst, our arts facilities stay abuzz with creativity all day long.

Quote Mark

Whether students are just entering pre-kindergarten or finishing senior year, the arts provide an integral path to expression and discovering a sense of self. The rich arts program at Seven Hills makes it possible for students to connect not only with their inner selves, but with the marvelously talented individuals around them.

Overview

We believe that the arts are critical to a complete education. Beyond improving brain development at a young age, the arts provide a unique setting for students to develop their emotional and social intelligence. Especially for children moving into their teen years, the arts aid students in discovering the world around them. That’s why we are dedicated to giving students the highest quality experience possible. 

Jacob Hauser, Head of Fine and Performing Arts

Through daily participation in visual arts, music, and drama in The Schiff Center and the Donovan Arts Center, students can explore their creative sides, master advanced techniques, and experiment with self-expression. The arts at Seven Hills also bring people together. When rehearsing a play, presenting a sculpture at an exhibit, or improvising in a band, students are part of a community of artists working together in an environment that fosters creativity. 

Best regards,
