Dramatic Arts
There is nothing as classical as drama! Students in grades 7-12 have the opportunity to perform in a fall play and spring musical. Students involved in performances act, sing, dance, build, paint and sew. They also learn team work, responsibility, and create lifelong memories.
Visual Arts
We seek to understand the inter-connectedness of Art with other disciplines, uncovering parallels between art and history, science, music, literature, philosophy, and culture. We ask, “What is Art?”, “What compels artists to create Art?”, and “What is the function of Art?” Our students explore a broad range of media and methods to develop their visual acuity.
Dance
Ridgeview has a unique and outstanding dance program. Many students take dance classes with Mr. Halseide, and swing dancing common during events throughout the year.
Madrigal Choir
The Madrigal Choir is a long standing, beloved musical tradition at Ridgeview. Students spend months rehearsing and preparing for the annual Madrigal Dinner and Feast held each January. Additionally, our Madrigal performers tour locally each to share their sounds with our community.
Grace Notes
Grace Notes is a children’s choir open to grades 2-4. A grace note is used to add color or ornamentation to a musical passage. This group “adds color” to our upper school performances. This is the first opportunity for children to “audition” for performing arts.
