How often do students have music, art, and drama at RDS?
Music and art are integral parts of our curriculum. Kindergarten-4th grade meet every week with both music and art teachers. They perform at least twice a year in either all-school or divisional music productions, and display their work in divisional art shows. Students in grades 5-8 meet for a double period of art, two periods of music, and a period of drama each week. Middle School students perform in two all-school or divisional productions and also present a divisional art show. Chorus, orchestra, rock bands, jazz band, and string ensemble are offered in the early morning or in after-school programs throughout the year. The Middle School performs a play in the fall and a musical in the spring. The music and drama instructors design and work with faculty to produce these programs.
