The Fine and Performing Arts are an important component in the growth and development our students. The courses and instructors aim to develop talents and interests that will grow with the student throughout her life.The programs provide the opportunity for participation in drama, music, voice and art.

Fine arts develop and enhance the talent of our students. Two art shows a year allow students to showcase their work.

Performing arts courses enhance creativity, discipline, social skills, and critical thinking. IND annually produces two full-length stage productions: a fall play and a spring musical. Students not only perform in these productions but also design scenery, sew costumes, choreograph, and act as stage managers.
