Barrack Hebrew Academy offers a broad variety of Middle School and Upper School electives in Studio Art, Theatre, and Music that encourage our students to discover, explore and express their creative vision and talents, as well as develop a lifelong appreciation of the Arts. These electives are part of our students' daily schedules and provide opportunities for self expression and effective communication in a number of realms.
Electives in Studio Art include: Two Dimensional Art Exploration, Three Dimensional Art Exploration, Painting, Art History, and Craft Projects. Theatre electives include: Public Speaking, Improvisation, and the Business of Theatre and Production. Music electives include: Song Writing, Composition, the History of Rock 'n Roll, Roots Music, and Jazz and Blues. Students interested in sharing their musical talents can join our school's Choir or Instrumental Ensembles.
Barrack students exercise mind, body and spirit as they pursue their artistic interests, and they shine on stage and in a number of competitions and exhibits. Our theatre students not only present five professional level productions each year, but also win Cappies (the equivalent of the Tony Awards for high school students). Our Middle and Upper School students win top awards in the Annual Delaware Valley Mordechai Anielewicz Arts Competition, and our singers and musicians are eligible to participate in county and statewide choirs, bands, and orchestras.
