Fine Arts
Our Fine Arts program includes two art studios – one for ceramics and one for visual arts. The ceramics studio has 14 wheels and a slab roller, accommodating the many students who select this elective. Assignments range from sculpture and tableware to Jewish ritual objects such as Passover seder plates and kiddush cups. Although most pots are fired electrically inside, Raku firings happen periodically outside — in the lower parking lot. The ceramics teacher and a Jewish Studies teacher co-teach an interdisciplinary course in Jewish Symbolism where the class studies Jewish text and then creates a visual arts piece that expresses their interpretation of the text. -
Music
With the opening of the Tzadik Performing Arts Center at the start of the 2023-2024 academic year, Weber expanded its Jazz, Rock, and Vocal ensembles while offering new courses in music theory and composition, electronic music, and sound engineering. In addition, our Director of Music leverages the dynamic teaching spaces within the Tzadik Performing Arts Center to offer a series of visiting performance artists, providing students with opportunities to learn from and make music with top working musicians in the Jewish and broader community. -
Theatre
The Weber Theatrical Program features two spectacular productions each year, performed in our state-of-the-art Tzadik Performing Arts Center, with additional opportunities through Georgia Thespians, the Georgia High School Musical Theatre Awards, and ThesCon.
In collaboration with the Daniel Zalik Academy, Theatrical Education guides students through every facet of production—from designing and building sets and props to mastering lighting design, sound, and stage technology. This unique partnership empowers students to blend artistry with technical expertise, bringing each performance to life with creativity and innovation.
