Design, Performing, and Visual Arts
At Hillbrook, the Arts are the foundation for making a difference in the world.
The Arts are a key part of a Hillbrook education, and every student has an opportunity to develop both their technical skills and the confidence to take risks, try new things, and express themselves fully through their creativity. At Hillbrook, the Arts build curiosity, awareness, appreciation, and community, laying a foundation for a lifelong connection to creativity and self-expression.
Our students hone their perception, acquire skills and methods, build flexible thinking and transdisciplinary skills, and learn how to create both individually and in community. Wonder and discovery are in conversation with the sights, sounds, designs, and opportunities all around us.

The Performing and Visual Arts offers courses in visual arts and thinking, dance, music and theater, and emphasizes the creative process as much as the final product or production. The art program deepens student understanding of inspiration and context, while emphasizing critical-thinking and communication skills. At the core of the program is the belief that the arts help make us fully realized human beings, as we learn new ways to see and think about ourselves and others. All ninth grade students take courses in human-centered design, an arts and engineering course which provides students an introduction to digital and physical fabrication, as well as visual art.
