Arts

Learning a universal language—together.

Waynflete’s commitment to the arts is well known. Dancers, actors, visual artists, and musicians are valued members of the school community. Our students explore visual, performing, and applied arts from many different eras and cultures in spaces designed to support their artistic growth. They perform on one of the city’s premier stages, show their work in the Waynflete Art Gallery, and share work-in-progress at school coffeehouses. They learn to collaborate within an ensemble and step forward for a solo. And through this disciplined creative practice they discover and pursue their own creative passions.

The performing arts at Waynflete are really excellent. When I first came to Waynflete I had never danced before. I have the confidence to dance now in front of a big audience.
