Explore Arts at Middlesex
We want our students making art, not just talking about it or passing it by. That’s why we ask them to stow the textbooks for a moment and pick up an instrument, a paint brush, a script. That’s why we take them to the MFA or the ICA in Boston to experience art in its living setting. After all, what is intelligence and discipline without creativity, expression, and a sense of the sublime? In the Art Department at Middlesex, we start with exposure: a four-course rotation through music, drama, art history, and drawing in which our freshmen and sophomores deepen knowledge and confidence in the Arts while discovering new passions. From there students can refine and master their skills through an array of electives and extracurricular pursuits.
From A.P. Studio Art to student-directed one act plays to one of our three a cappella groups, Middlesex students turn practice into performance.
We ensure that everybody has the appropriate facilities, faculty support, and schedule flexibility to become fully engaged in the Arts—to stretch, create, and experience fully the life of the heart and of the mind.
Theatre
The Middlesex Theatre Program draws kids from all areas of the school. We believe that passion for theater is intensified, rather than diminished, by academic and athletic passions. We choose shows every season to stretch and grow the talents of our student casts and crews.

Music
Exceptional music resonates across the Middlesex campus throughout the year and reverberates in the individual and collective memory of the School. The Music Department is devoted to ensuring that every musician, from beginner to expert, finds the resources to develop their talents

Visual Arts
The aesthetic and academic experience of Visual Arts at Middlesex begins with classes in drawing and art history. From there, our artists have the opportunity to develop their own portfolios, take A.P Studio Art, and share their work in exhibition in our gallery.

Plaques
Since the first graduation class of 1905, every senior has carved a wooden plaque to leave behind as his or her permanent, personal legacy to the school. They speak of a culture of individual expression amidst collective solidarity.
