芸術
本校のアートプログラムでは、ビジュアルアート、演劇、映像制作の中から生徒が好きな科目を選択をすることができます。生徒はさまざまな表現方法を模索しながら、理論の学習と共に、実践することによって創造性を深めていきます。また、音楽は正式な学習科目ではありませんが、キャンパスライフに欠かせない存在であり、生徒がもつ音楽の才能を発揮することは、アート教育においても重要な役割を果たすとして奨励しています。
芸術とは、あなた自身が見るものではなく、他人に見せるためのものです。
ビジュアルアート
本校のプログラムは、アートに触れる機会が少なかった生徒でも、自分らしい表現ができるよう設計されています。絵を描く能力は必須ではなく、写真、絵画、3Dプリンター、印刷、スクリーンアートなど、自分の心に響く表現方法を自由に選ぶことができます。11年生は、与えられた課題を通じてさまざまな技術とスキルを学び、12年生になると展覧会に向けた作品を制作することに集中します。iPad Pro、Apple Pencil、Adobe Creative Cloudなどのツールを利用しながらデジタルで自由に作業することもできます。このプログラムにおいて最も重要なことは、創作に興味を持ち、自分らしさを自由に表現する意欲を培うことです。

No, drawing can be a useful method of visual planning and communication, but there is nocomponent in Visual Arts that demands it.
Yes. The choice of medium for the exhibition is up to you. We will cover other forms of art making, such as 3D, printing, painting and screen-based in the first part of the course, but after that you specialize – and your specialism could be photography
In G11, there are a number of set projects exploring different mediums, techniques and developing skills. In all of these, there is always huge scope for personal interpretation. There are also two written components – a comparison of artworks, and a journal that documents your creative process. These are both worked on in G11, leaving the majority of G12 to work in the studio on the exhibition.
Attitudes are more important actually. You should enjoy making and being creative, and enjoy being able to choose what to do and how to do it. There is a lot of creative freedom, and students take on the role of young artists rather than traditional students.
Yes, you can choose to focus on digital art for your exhibition work. The Art Room iPAD PROs with apple pencils to support digital work, and all students have access to Adobe Creative Cloud, which includes programmes such as Illustrator and Photoshop. There is a large scale printer in the Art Room to allow digital work to be printed for exhibition.

Theatre offers the unique opportunity of working creatively and collaboratively to produce live, original moments of art. Studying theatre in the IB DP is about taking risks, discovering through experiment, researching and applying knowledge of global theatrical traditions and theories, presenting ideas to others through live theatre, and reflecting on the process of making theatre. Taking theatre will help you develop greater self-awareness and confidence, hone your analytical skills, understand the major theories and theorists of the theatre, show you the dynamic and changing nature of art, and nurture a lifelong love of theatre arts.
The course is composed of three interconnected elements:
- Theatre in Context
- Theatre Processes
- Performing Theatre
These elements will be found in every aspect of the course and assessment pieces. This means that we will always strive to move from foundational understandings of the environments out of which theatre is developed to theories that undergird the art form, and from those theories into practical application in our own work.
A central part of the course and a critical aspect of collaborative work will be an engagement with the major processes of theatre. These include:
- Creating – devising original works, ideating with established play texts
- Designing – exploring mise-en-scene, light & sound design, set design, costumes and props
- Directing – determining and executing a vision for a moment of original or established theatre
- Performing – exploring movement, voice, facial expression, gesture, and action
- Spectating – reading, analysing, critiquing and responding to live theatre
All students will have the opportunity to explore these areas in practical ways through
units, activities, and assessments which push their creative and critical abilities.
While innate acting talent may seem a necessary (or at least helpful) attribute for succeeding in IB Theatre, it is your ability to take risks, to analyse, to be open to new approaches to expressing ideas on stage, to work and play positively and collaboratively with others that will best serve you.
Nope! While rehearsals are an essential part of theatre and we will work on projects that culminate in live performance, we will also engage in other tasks including:
- Play text analysis
- Research into world theatre traditions
- Study and application of theories of theatre
- Design and set construction
- Costume, prop, mask, and makeup design
- Technical experience with sound, lights, and projections

映画
映画のプログラムでは、映画という視覚的な言語を理解し、分析をするユニークで楽しいカリキュラムです。クリエイティブな人もそうでない人も、基礎から学ぶことで、クリティカルシンキングと問題解決の能力を映画を通じて習得していきます。授業は、歴史と講義、映画の分析とディスカッション、さまざまな課題とプロジェクトを通じた実践的な体験を交えながら、理論と創作をバランスよく進めていきます。最終的には全員が自分の映画作りに取り組みながら、得た知識を応用していきます。

By taking this course, you will be able to understand, analyze and contribute to the visual language that surrounds us on a daily basis. Film is a powerful medium to communicate ideas, and studying it leads to a deeper insight into the ideas that film coveys, and the way in which those ideas are told. Film is relevant to a myriad of subjects; at times, film class feels like it could be English, History, TOK, or Global Politics class. The interdisciplinary connections one is able to make in film class is part of the reason why the class is so unique.
To me, film class is the study of how meaning and purpose are conveyed through visual language.
There are no prerequisites for IB Film – by taking this course you will learn how to make film and improve upon your skills over the two-year period, you will be taught ground up starting from the basics.
As long as you have a positive mindset and are willing to challenge yourself, you will be fine. Studying film requires you to be a critical thinker and a problem-solver. Creating film is enjoyable and satisfying, and is something everybody has the potential to do.
The class is quite fun and interesting especially with the hands on film experiences gained.
We study the history of film and learn how film is meaningful and powerful. Through that, we apply them to reality with quick assignments as well as summative project. Of course, we look at films and analyze them, enriching our knowledge in film and see the knowledge we studied applies in famous work.

音楽
音楽は本校では正式なプログラムではありませんが、活気ある活動の１つとし頻繁に行われています。キャンパスにはさまざまな楽器と施設が準備されているため、生徒たちは音楽的な創造力を発揮することができます。さらに、学生主導の音楽クラブに参加すると、軽井沢地域の他の演奏家と一緒に活動することができます。地元軽井沢の演奏家の方々は毎年数回、大賀ホールでパフォーマンスを披露しており、本校の生徒がイベントに招待され参加する機会も多くあります。
