The extracurricular program allows students an opportunity to delve deeper into the fine arts, enjoying regular practice and expert guidance. Extracurricular classes meet three times a week in the evenings, and all students are required to attend a class of their choice. Listed below are some of the topics offered to the students:

Raag:
Raagas are the melodic scales of classical Indian music. Almost the entire Siri Guru Granth Sahib is set to specific Raagas. Our teacher, Ustad Narinder Singh Sandhu, is one of the foremost masters of the art in North India. His style of teaching is that of the oldest tradition of Raagam, which requires deep listening and exact emulation of the teacher on the part of the student. Ustad Ji is also teacher to the Cherdi Kala Jetha.

Tabla: Our tabla class is popular with many students, some of whom have already become quite proficient. The tabla is an Indian percussion instrument used in the classical, popular and religious music of the Indian subcontinent and in Hindustani classical music. Our teacher, Murli Ji, holds a Ph.D, and is himself one of the most accomplished tabla players in Punjab.

Sitar: The sitar is probably the best-known South Asian instrument in the West. Students benefit from skilled teachers and regular practice hours. They study the use of the instrument, as well as the Raagas of classical Indian music.

Arts: Students with a knack for creative expression can participate in art, photography and metal-works classes. The classes are held in our art department, which is equipped with a dark room, computers with digital editing software, a metal work shop, and all of the basic art supplies necessary to the classical arts of painting, sculpture, and pottery.

These are only some of the courses offered as extracurricular activities. Other classes, such as guitar, drama, and various forms of dance are often available. Students with a special skill or interest can, with the approval of the Director of Student Life, pursue independent study as well.
