The Arts Are Integral
The visual and performing arts are integral components of a Hamden Hall education as we weave our students' artistic visions and talents into daily campus life. Our students love to share their stories of risk-taking: trying out for the school play despite having never stepped foot on a stage; musicians putting aside their violins to instead hoist a trumpet; athletes finding their voice within our choral programs.

Our campus hums throughout the school year with concerts, art exhibits, performances, theater productions, and cross-curricular art shows across all three divisions.
Theater
Music
including our nationally renowned High School Choral and Instrumental programs, which are continually represented at regional, state and nationwide music competitions. Our music programs create opportunities for musicians of varying proficiency with comprehensive programming by our teaching-artist faculty. Students are immersed in an environment that expects excellence while maintaining a supportive community of like-minded young artists.
Visual Arts
Our youngest students enjoy a cross-curricular learning experience as their art units are integrated with the classroom curriculum. In Middle and Upper School, students continue their personal artistic journey with opportunities in a variety of materials, techniques and approaches via academic experiences that broaden individual talent and artistic abilities. Students at all levels work with faculty members who are active artisans and exhibiting artists outside of our Hamden Hall Community.
Our Moira Fitzsimmons Arons Art Gallery provides an additional educational experience for our students as we continually showcase regional and national artists in this premier exhibition space.
