Curriculum Guide

Performing and Visual Arts

Performing and Visual Arts play a vital role in life at Blue Ridge School, and they uphold our commitment to teaching boys to reach. The arts give students the ability to express themselves in a positive manner, increase self-esteem, and present their work to an audience. As such, every graduate of Blue Ridge School is required to have an arts experience consisting of an elective course or participation in one of the annual school plays or choral groups. The following electives will give boys knowledge and abilities that will remain with them for a lifetime:
