Music
From your child’s first day at Overlake, they’ll hear music flowing through our hallways. Our 5-12 grade program invites every student to find their voice—whether that's through choir, band, or orchestra. Imagine your young one performing at festivals both close to home and across oceans, sharing their passion with new audiences and bringing those experiences back to our nest.
CHOIR
Our singers not only perform at seasonal concerts—they become the soul of our community during school assemblies and those special moments when grandparents and friends visit campus. And when they're ready to spread their wings, our Overlake vocalists step into competitions where they can shine alongside peers from across the region.
BAND & ORCHESTRA
From students picking up their first instrument to experienced musicians diving into jazz improv or chamber orchestra, there's a musical path for everyone here. Our young musicians regularly test their talents in (friendly) competitions, returning with both ribbons and stories to share.
Theater
Theater at Overlake is more than memorizing lines, it's where students discover parts of themselves they never knew existed. Whether your child dreams of the spotlight or prefers the allure of behind-the-scenes work, they'll find their place in our theater family. From reimagining classics to creating bold new works, our young thespians learn to take creative risks in a nest that encourages them to fly. When they're ready, competitions become the perfect stage to showcase their growing confidence and skills.
Visual Arts
Art at Overlake spills beyond classroom walls. Young artists get their feet wet in everything from traditional studio techniques to digital photography and experimental design. Picture your child's pride
