Arts
At Flint Hill, we provide a meaningful pathway to acquiring the skills of being an artist and developing visual thinking, studio habits of mind and creative conceptualization.
Our students work with teaching artists who serve as mentors to explore and develop their strengths and respond to critiques. The skills and virtuosity of Flint Hill student artists are matched by their imaginations and by the intellectual challenges of making art that is moving and compelling.
