Visual and Performing Arts are an important part of our schools, and many students participate all the way through high school.
All K-5 students have weekly music and art instruction. Beginning in 4th grade, students can take weekly small group instrumental music lessons during the school day and perform in the school orchestra or band. All 4th and 5th grade students can participate in the school chorus. Select students perform in Madison's All City Band or Orchestra.
In 6th, 7th and 8th grade all students take some combination of band, orchestra, and/or chorus, and most take an 10 week cycle class in art, theatre or music appreciation. In high school, there are a number of music, theatre and art electives.
To supplement the classroom, there are clubs and activities in the junior school and high school, and some of our most talented musicians participate in audition-based music groups outside school.
The Madison Schools Visual and Performing Arts Department is also active with the community run Madison Arts and Cultural Alliance. For more information please visit their website http://www.madisonartsnj.org/.
