The arts are integral to a PDS education. All students have the opportunity to particpate in a variety of performing and visual arts classes. Throughout the year the walls of the classrooms and common spaces are used as gallery space for student work. There are performances, screenings, concerts and recitals in each division. Students regularly present their work in class and assemblies and on stage. The school calendar has many regularly scheduled shows, drama productions, music performances and other arts-related events to which parents and the public are invited.
