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.
