Program Description

The Visual Art Department at Germantown Academy is committed to providing a comprehensive education in the arts within the context of a liberal arts education. Our foundation and advanced curriculum is a well-rounded and versatile approach to the study and application of art. It is designed to provide a creatively stimulating education in an open environment of studio classes. Experimentation and innovation, collaboration and social responsibility are themes built into the curriculum. While these courses extend excellent opportunities for the general study of art and life-long arts advocacy, they are also designed to cultivate serious talents in the visual arts. Many of our students have gone on to prominent careers in commercial, fine, and applied arts.

Footbridges for the Academy


Students in Honors Sculpture designed footbridges for the glorious grounds of Germantown Academy!
Using primarily leftover lumber, students created functional bridges. They spent time studying bridges throughout the world, as well as thinking about what constitutes a bridge. Next, they built models of bridges and ultimately, in teams, constructed the full scale foot bridges.
The exciting results speak for themselves.
