The School of 自由研究 and 细 and 表演艺术 houses a wide array of courses and modes of discovery. 在我们的课程中, students consider theoretical foundations and historical perspectives from a variety of scholars, and express their own thinking in both creative and analytical ways. Through a variety of mediums and texts, we work to understand form and function, structure and expression, commonalities and differences, whether we are studying a piece of art, analyzing a literary work, or reading the results of a re搜索 study.
Whether we participate in discussions of contrasting world religions or spend an afternoon creating music or 3 dimensional figures, we are engaging in the type of scholarly inquiries and artistic explorations that form not only a historical record of the human experience but also new knowledge and works that allow us to grow as individuals and contribute to a larger body of inquiry. Throughout the curriculum, students are asked to engage in exploration and study, share their perspectives and ideas, and practice the modes of critical inquiry that represent the scholarly disciplines.
