Kent Place second-graders have been studying the people, animals, and geographies of our world’s continents — as they are today and from many years ago — as part of their science and social studies curricula, and this week they went on an exciting field trip that would bring their lessons to life. Equipped with their backpacks, notebooks, and adventurous spirits, the girls visited the Museum of Natural History, in New York City.
Where does a student's individuality and empathic and expressive potential meet collaboration, design, problem solving, and critical thinking?
The Arts at Kent Place.
Creative thinking and artistic expression are essential to the Kent Place experience and emphasized in all grades. The arts — including robust programs in music, dance, visual arts, and theater — reinforce, reinvigorate, and even reinvent themes taught in the classroom.
Our proximity to New York City certainly doesn't hurt — when we're not hosting visiting professional artists and performers, we're traveling with students to theaters, world-class museums, and galleries — bringing the arts to life for every girl.
