PERFORMING

List of 1 items.

  • Arts

    At CCS, creativity and artistic expression are nurtured from the very beginning. Students in Lower School begin exploring vocals and instruments, igniting their creativity and artistic development. In Upper School, they can choose to specialize in singing, playing an instrument, or engaging in the dramatic arts. Whether performing at prestigious venues like Carnegie Hall or at a semester recital, students discover that artistic expression thrives through collaboration.
