As students move from art to science, then music to math in the course of the same day, they make important connections from the interaction of different perspectives of knowledge and the world.
Visual Arts: Students begin in Lower School with hands-on projects inspired by art movements and selected artists from around the world. As students progress into middle school and high school, creative expression and problem-solving become more sophisticated. Visual Arts program encourages all students to develop their own artistic voice by experimenting with different media, techniques, and ideas while learning about art's history, purpose, and function.
Music: At MCDS all students Pre-k-Grade 10 are in music! 11th and 12th grade students can continue with Music in the IB Diploma Programme. Our young musicians experience a comprehensive and well-rounded music education that cultivates musical knowledge, personal expression, performance, and creativity across all grade levels.
MCDS is a proud member of the Wisconsin School Music Association.
Theatre: Students enjoy extensive opportunities to explore their passion for the performing arts. A no-cut policy underlies our approach to the musicals and plays which are performed every spring and fall in our gymnasium/theatre facility. Musical performances occur throughout the year, both during the school day and at special evening performances.
