Welcome!

In 2004, Hutchison had the vision to open its doors to the Greater Memphis community by offering classes through its newly launched arts academy. Since that time, more than 15,000 students ages 2 through adult have participated in the arts academy in workshops, year-long classes, master classes, events, service learning through the arts, and private instruction with professional artists and arts organizations on Hutchison’s campus. In 2007, the Mary Miles Loveless Arts Academy was expanded into the Center for Excellence. Through the

Center, Hutchison shares its tradition of excellence through offerings in academics, arts, athletics, education, and leadership. Instructors in each of the Center’s six components strive to awaken and inspire artists, athletes, and scholars and to engage leaders, educators, and parents in thought-provoking classes and lectures. Join the fun! Please take a moment to review our current catalog to learn about the programs available this year.

There is truly something for everyone!

humanities PERRE MAGNESS SERIES about MEMPHIS HISTORY AND ISSUES The Perre Magness Series on Memphis History and Issues is a tribute to Perre Magness, one of Memphis’ most distinguished historians and writers. The series was created to extend the understanding of Memphis’ past and present as we look toward its future. Throughout the school year, research projects, speakers, and panels help girls understand Memphis’ uniqueness as a city. Culminating projects by the girls are archived and added to the incredible resources donated to our library by author Perre Magness. The theme for 2014-2015 is Memphis Means Music: How does our culture create music? What does music say about our culture? Studies and investigations about how Memphis became the Home of the Blues and the Birthplace of Rockn-Roll will be investigated all year in each division. For more information, check out updates at www.hutchisonschool.org under the Center for Excellence tab.

Welcome!

In 2004, Hutchison had the vision to open its doors to the Greater Memphis community by offering classes through its newly launched arts academy. Since that time, more than 15,000 students ages 2 through adult have participated in the arts academy in workshops, year-long classes, master classes, events, service learning through the arts, and private instruction with professional artists and arts organizations on Hutchison’s campus. In 2007, the Mary Miles Loveless Arts Academy was expanded into the Center for Excellence. Through the

Center, Hutchison shares its tradition of excellence through offerings in academics, arts, athletics, education, and leadership. Instructors in each of the Center’s six components strive to awaken and inspire artists, athletes, and scholars and to engage leaders, educators, and parents in thought-provoking classes and lectures. Join the fun! Please take a moment to review our current catalog to learn about the programs available this year.

There is truly something for everyone!
