At Rivendell, we believe that training in the arts is essential to the development of a well-educated child. Fine arts and performing arts are woven throughout our integral thematic units through memorization, presentations, acting out skits, drawing, sculpting, painting, nature study, creative writing, and constructing.
Additionally, the Rivendell School curriculum and calendar provide time for formal opportunities for students to display their talents. Every two years, all grades participate in our Shakespeare Festival in which our classes put on a Shakespearian production. During alternate years, classes may perform a dramatic production that coincides with a thematic unit of study. A cadre of talented parents serve as art and music teachers and as production assistants.
