Arts & Electives

Small class size and differentiated instruction help students at Rochelle Zell find and develop their individual voices.

They solve problems creatively and collaboratively, cultivate respect for individual differences, and develop a deep dedication to learning.

Our teachers are deeply committed to providing students with a comprehensive and well-rounded high school experience, and the fine, performing and literary arts program is an integral part of the school’s philosophy and curriculum. Our faculty members are trained professionals who strive to further students’ passion for the arts, help them realize their full artistic potential and cultivate an appreciation for the talents of their peers.
