List of 3 items.

  • Fine Arts

    Our Fine Arts program includes two art studios – one for ceramics and one for visual arts. The ceramics studio has 14 wheels and a slab roller, accommodating the many students who select this elective. Assignments range from sculpture and tableware to Jewish ritual objects such as Passover seder plates and kiddush cups. Although most pots are fired electrically inside, Raku firings happen periodically outside — in the lower parking lot. The ceramics teacher and a Jewish Studies teacher co-teach an interdisciplinary course in Jewish Symbolism where the class studies Jewish text and then creates a visual arts piece that expresses their interpretation of the text.

  • Music

    With the opening of the Tzadik Performing Arts Center at the start of the 2023-2024 academic year, Weber expanded its Jazz, Rock, and Vocal ensembles while offering new courses in music theory and composition, electronic music, and sound engineering.  In addition, our Director of Music leverages the dynamic teaching spaces within the Tzadik Performing Arts Center to offer a series of visiting performance artists, providing students with opportunities to learn from and make music with top working musicians in the Jewish and broader community.

  • Theatre

    Leveraging the new theatre and dynamic teaching spaces, Weber expanded its theatrical offerings by adding courses in Theatrical Direction, Short-Form Theater, and Collaborative Dramatic Performance, Weber offered its first-ever dramatic and musical theater production centered upon material written, directed, and performed by students. Guided by our Technical Director (who also teaches a new course in Set and Light Design) and our Music and Sound Engineering Teacher, a growing team of Weber students master the skills of lighting, set design, and sound engineering, managing traditional and high-tech equipment in service of each performance.
