冬季及春季音乐会(全校)

所有学生每年参加两场音乐会. For the Winter Concert, all classes sing a song and/or play pieces on the handbells or the recorder. 

The Spring Concert coincides with the End-of-Year Ceremonies and Graduation. Students sing songs together and the 中学 IV graduates sing a graduation song.

音乐剧(全校)

The school musical incorporates all aspects of the arts including music, 戏剧, 视觉艺术, 和运动. 每年, 剑桥学派 selects and produces a spring musical that is performed by students on an authentic stage complete with state of the art technology. In addition to the pure enjoyment of being a part of a stage production, children benefit from the experience of working cooperatively with their peers and building self-esteem as they gain theatrical skills and musical aptitude. 无论是在台上还是在幕后, every student plays a role in delivering a first-rate performance. The result of performing in front of family and friends provides the students a sense of accomplishment, 无论是作为个人还是作为更大群体的成员.

手铃合唱团

The handbell choir program is used at Cambridge because handbells involve a highly organized and complex system of counting and reading, where each student is responsible for one or two notes in an entire piece. 学生必须数出整首曲子, 然后听整首曲子, to know exactly when they need to play their individual bell or bells. 团队合作是这门课的核心. Every person has to know the parts of everyone else for the score to work. The class includes score analysis, repertoire, and performance.

私人课程(全校提供)

美术(全校)

The Fine 艺术 program at 剑桥学派 stimulates creative thinking and encourages students to feel comfortable using art as an effective and meaningful form of communication. Students with different learning styles often display a strong aptitude for the 视觉艺术.

我们的项目致力于帮助学生:

• Develop confidence in their creative expression by building skills in a variety of media

• Work with tools appropriate to their abilities and skill level in order to develop manipulative skills needed for artistic expression

• Understand basic design elements, including lines, shapes, colors, textures, space, and light

• 探索更先进的设计原则, 包括模式, 节奏, 平衡, 对比, 强调, 和团结

Our Fine 艺术 program also allows students to create bridges between art and the world around them through a theme-based integrated curriculum. 例如, students design and create set backdrops and stage props that are used in their all-school musical production.

Projects are designed to offer enough structure for students to feel creatively safe as well as the freedom for them to make their own discoveries.

Students build a connection to the art community through museum/gallery visits, 实地考察旅行, 以及来访的艺术家.

Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) BRAVO (中学)

每年 two 剑桥学派 students are selected to participate in 听好了!，其中之一 PSO布拉沃! 教育项目, through which the Princeton Symphony Orchestra invites middle school students to listen to live classical music and respond artistically and in words.

As part of the program, students attend a pre-concert talk with the composer. They then get to work illustrating their interpretation of the piece through visual media such as painting, 画, 或拼贴. The resulting exhibition is held at the 艺术 Council of Princeton and then at Richardson Auditorium during a subsequent PSO concert.
