University School of Milwaukee believes that every child should have the opportunity to creatively express themselves, refine their artistic skills and showcase their artistry, no matter what medium they study. USM has an incredible arts program beginning in prekindergarten and continuing through grade 12.

We recognize the importance of the arts to the intellectual and emotional growth of young people. Students develop their expressive capacity and self-confidence through participation in the arts. Our visual and performing arts programs promote appreciation and respect for the diversity of cultural and historical experiences. They also promote self-discipline, collaboration, problem-solving, and perseverance, all of which can help lead to success. 

We invite you to explore this section to learn more about all of the amazing opportunities available to your child in each of our divisions, as well as our world-class arts facilities.
