Arts

We all look at the same object in different ways.
Kehinde Wiley

Art is a very personal endeavor at Montgomery. We explore, create, and appreciate art together but we express ourselves as individuals.

In a sequential curriculum that simultaneously builds technical skills, listening and observational skills, and points of view, students find new ways to “say” what they feel. Sharing talents and accomplishments is an essential part of the Montgomery arts program—with opportunities throughout the year for students to be on the stage, in the gallery, and in the audience.

Chapel Performances

Lower School Chorus

Middle School Ensemble

Open to all middle school students as an elective class, the Middle School Music Ensemble rehearses once a week. The group is open to all singers and instrumentalists alike, and their repertoire includes traditional music and modern pop tunes. The Music Ensemble performs 2 to 3 times each school year, including our Winter Program in December and the Music & Arts Festival in the spring.

5th Grade Play

The 5th Grade Play is a low-stress, high-fun opportunity for lower school students to test out their dramatic chops. It is often the on-ramp for participation in the middle school musical, as students practice the wide range of skills and hard work that ensure a successful production. Activities are three afternoons a week, beginning in March and culminating in a performance for the whole school in May.

Middle School Musical

Each year during the winter term, Middle School students have the opportunity to participate in a full scale musical production. From “Guys and Dolls” to “Footloose,” the bright lights of Broadway are no match for our annual Middle School Musical. It is a project that, unlike any other, provides a wide range of opportunities for all students to get involved including acting roles, stage crew, set design, music/band, lighting, and sound crew. By participating in performing arts, students learn valuable public speaking and leadership skills, building confidence in every part of their lives.

Visual Arts

Students are introduced to a wide variety of visual arts media beginning in PreK. Clay, paint, chalk, fiber, digital…materials and processes are revisited with increasing complexity in every grade, as students explore how to see and think about the world.

Performing Arts

The performing arts at Montgomery give students the opportunity to find their voice both literally and figuratively. They start out making music through song and rhythm and movement. With proficiency comes the ability to interpret content and communicate meaning. Finally, confidence, nuanced understanding, and personal perspectives come to bear on every performance.
