Fine Arts

Yorkies are encouraged to explore their creativity and passions
We believe that early arts experience has a profound impact on a child’s learning and development.
Our youngest Yorkies begin to construct their understanding of the world around them through musical games, storytelling, drama, and drawing. 

Senior School students have access to a wide range of fine arts programs as well as co-curricular opportunities in music, drama, textiles, new media, film, and visual arts.

Whether or not a Yorkie decides to pursue a career in fine arts, we encourage the girls to express their creative selves and develop an understanding and appreciation of the arts that will last them a lifetime.
