The Performing Arts Department at Stoneleigh-Burnham School provides opportunities for young women to pursue creative endeavor in dance, instrumental music, vocal music and theater.
Students build confidence, self-assurance and poise through participation in our dynamic, integrated curriculum. Our school prides itself on being a safe and supportive environment for girls to showcase their artistic development whether on stage or in the studio.
By taking advantage of the rich performing arts resources found in our Pioneer Valley, students begin to interpret the imaginative language of the performing arts, as well as hone their observational skills. All of our arts courses receive full credit within our curriculum.
