Theatre & Vocal Arts at Allendale Columbia School 

 
 Allendale Columbia, creativity is woven into the curriculum, and
passion is transformed into purpose. As an independent school with
vibrant and dynamic music and performing arts departments, we believe in nurturing every student's unique voice and artistic expression.

Young performers take center stage—first here, then anywhere—gaining the skills, confidence, and inspiration to thrive in any arena. Whether composing, acting, dancing, or performing, our students are empowered to explore boldly, create meaningfully, and grow into the performers and innovators of tomorrow.  

Students have real-world performance opportunities in our Curtis Performance Center. Student shows include:

Each grade level performs throughout the year; all students perform at Holiday Breakfast and Strawberry Breakfast. Third, Fourth, and Fifth graders perform in a Winter Concert. Third Grade presents a Spring Recorder Concert. Fourth and Fifth graders perform in a Music in Our Schools Month Concert and a Spring Concert.
