Performing Arts

We at Hickory Day School consider the arts key to developing creative ability among children of all ages, and our curriculum at each grade level includes multiple weekly exposures to the visual and performing arts.

Our students present two major performing arts productions each year. Our winter play is performed in early December in the Hickory Arts and Science Center Auditorium. Our spring musical is the grand finale of our arts program and involves all Hickory Day School students in singing, acting, dancing, and constructing scenery and props. Families also enjoy the opportunity to see our students' musical performances throughout the school year at events such as Grandparents' Day and the Celebration of Thanks.

Through participation in these productions, students develop musical and acting skills but more importantly build confidence and self-esteem as they cooperate with peers in all grade levels to put together a great performance.
