The school's 40-acre wilderness camp in the Ozarks hosts the seventh grade orientation in the fall, as well as a science field study program for 9th graders in the spring. Many outdoor education programs also take place at Drey Land.
Through both coursework and performance, our Performing Arts Department introduces students to a wide variety of genre, from satire to Shakespeare, from small troupe to a full ensemble with chorus and orchestra.
Each October, 8th graders volunteer with a variety of local organizations as part of their class-wide Community Engagement Week.
All of our students participate in some aspect of our arts program: drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, photography—from the introductory level to intensive studies.
Fifteen students from the Class of 2024 were recently named semifinalists, while 13 other seniors received a Letter of Commendation.
