MPH Artists
Beginning in Lower School and continuing through every grade, the arts are a core part of the Manlius Pebble Hill experience. Students develop creative voice, technical skill, and confidence over time through consistent, hands-on engagement in visual and performing arts. From their earliest years through Upper School, they have meaningful opportunities to perform, exhibit, and collaborate—on stage, in the studio, and in rehearsal. The MPH arts program is intentionally designed to engage every student while also providing depth, rigor, and advanced opportunities for those who wish to pursue the arts at a higher level.

Festival of the Arts
Each Spring, MPH hosts its signature Festival of the Arts, a community-wide celebration that showcases student work across all divisions in both visual and performing arts. The event transforms campus into a gallery and performance space, highlighting the creativity and talent of MPH students through exhibitions, concerts, theatre, and dance performances. Families and community members are invited to experience the breadth of artistic expression that defines the MPH experience.
Where the Arts Can Take You
MPH alumni have gone on to perform on Broadway, earn Emmy Awards, pursue careers in stage and production design, and continue their studies at some of the nation’s most prestigious arts institutions, including FIT, The New School, SCAD, and Juilliard.
Our proximity to New York City also makes it possible for some students to pursue professional opportunities while enrolled at MPH, including those working as actors and performers. At every level, the MPH arts program supports students in exploring their passions while maintaining a strong academic foundation.
