Arts
Upper School for Girls Arts
At Annie Wright we believe ALL of our students can and must create — and we offer a range of opportunities for every student to practice, analyze, imagine, design and perform.
Academic Program
Students in Grades 9 & 10 may choose to take Art & Design, a skills- and project-based exploration of music, visual art and film. They can also elect to fulfill their art credits outside of school with a sanctioned activity. Many girls focus on a specific arts discipline in a two-year IB course in Grades 11 and 12, potentially earning college credits for that work.
CO-CURRICULAR PROGRAM
Arts activities allow students to experiment or deepen expertise in visual arts, music, acting and more. Annie Wright also offers on-site music lessons in voice, piano, stringed instruments, drum and flute, including twice-yearly recitals. The Kemper Center Theatre provides opportunities to be on or behind stage for major and minor productions—or just for fun!
