Single Hero
The Montgomery Academy values and encourages artistic achievement and development with every student. Students in every grade, K-12 are exposed to a variety of art mediums, from the stage, to the studio and behind the scenes.
Our students are inspired daily by an amazing group of brilliant performing and visual art educators. Many of our faculty remain active in their field of study by presenting at state and national conventions, as well as serving on state and national boards across the country.
Our performing arts programs: music, drama, and speech & debate, give students opportunities to explore different dimensions of human performance. Students’ skills in these areas are developed through intense work in the classroom and opportunities for public performance and competition. In visual arts, we prepare students for a lifetime of creative activity. Our discipline-based approach emphasizes art production and appreciation through a variety of traditional and contemporary experiences, art history and art criticism.
We invite you to come to a performance, concert, play or musical to see our outstanding arts program for yourself!
