Performing Arts
Our Performing Arts Department awakens, nurtures, develops and celebrates the musical, physical and dramatic artistic expression in each student.

Visual Arts

Mastering the language of visual expression and interpretation, students gain exposure to a new way of artistic thinking, learning critical communication skills in an inspiring environment under the guidance of teachers and artists. As a core component of our visual arts focus, students learn self-discipline, critical thinking and decision making, challenging their perceptions of the world as they explore their identities through the creative process. The visual arts curriculum encompasses art history, culture and Judaic imagery. -

Each semester, aspiring young writers from all grade levels enroll in Milken’s creative writing electives to hone their craft.

At Milken Community School, we think education is more than what you know. Our School, founded on Jewish values, is about who our children can become and how they can help others become who they might be. Because the world our children will create tomorrow is born in the School we build today, our mission is to educate our children so they can surpass us.
