Musical Theatre Program: Proctor’s Collaborative
The Proctor’s Musical Theatre Program is designed for beginners to advanced performers passionate about musical theatre. This partnership through the Collaborative School of the Arts at Proctors represents an extraordinary opportunity that brings real-world performing arts experience directly to our students.
The Honors-Distinction Option (Grade 9 Science) Pilot Program
Rather than limiting honors opportunities to students based on prior placement decisions, this model invites every student to challenge themselves and demonstrate their capabilities through their own work and ambition. Students will opt into honors distinction by completing additional depth-based projects and assignments while learning alongside peers in a diverse classroom environment that mirrors the collaborative nature of college and professional work.
