Co-curriculars
Shalhevet is proud to offer a wide array of co-curricular programs to further enrich our educational program. Students are encouraged to participate in the various student-centered and student-led programs as a part of their high school experience. We appreciate the commitment required to carry the additional burdens outside of their curricular obligations and strive to support their endeavors outside of the classroom. Students must understand that the additional obligations incurred through participation in these co-curricular programs must not be prioritized above their primary curricular obligations.
Clubs and Committees
The goal of student clubs and committees is to involve students more directly of service and leadership. Some of the programs currently available include: American Israeli Political Action Committee (AIPAC), The Chesed Society, PATH (People Assisting The Homeless), Literary Arts Journal, Student Ambassador program, and Yearbook. Students are encouraged to create new opportunities if there is not a current group that supports their area of interest. The student-initiated clubs currently meeting include Fashion, Film, Finance, Photography and Politics.

Theater
At the school’s Wildfire Theater, months of rigorous preparation and rehearsals blossom into incredible productions. In plays that range from the intensely dramatic to the whimsical and lighthearted, students work with peers of all grades on projects where camaraderie is as important as commitment and discipline.
Visual Arts
Shalhevet’s visual arts curriculum nurtures students’ creative energy in projects that explore a variety of media. The Art Studio is a favorite gathering place for all students – from the serious teen artist pursuing an AP level visual arts education, to those who simply enjoy the laid-back learning atmosphere in which to give free rein to their creativity.
