The Arts at Scheck Hillel
Scheck Hillel Community School's Jordan Alexander Ressler Arts Program reflects our community's commitment to the arts by offering a diverse curriculum ranging from band, orchestra, and music production classes to all levels of visual arts instruction, including Advanced Placement courses. It is further enriched by extra-curricular offerings like musical theatre and play production, technical theatre, and creative arts classes that are part of the Afterschool Enrichment Program.
