Discover Your Artistic Might
The Masters School takes great pride in the strength of its performing and visual arts programs. Art is a vital way for you to get to know yourself and others. It builds confidence and develops empathy. While the arts are an integral part of the curriculum, you can also make the most of a broad range of co-curricular arts opportunities, such as dance, drama, painting, photography and music in its varied forms.
Located just 12 miles from the vast resources of New York City, you can attend plays, musicals, opera and other performances on a whim. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Metropolitan Opera, the Museum of Modern Art, Jazz at Lincoln Center and the Whitney Museum of American Art are just a few of the world-class institutions awaiting a visit.
