To be truly well educated, one must not only learn to appreciate the arts, but must have rich opportunities to actively participate in creative work. The arts bring subjects to life, turning abstractions into concrete reality. Learning through the arts often results in greater academic achievement and higher test scores.

Hebron provides numerous opportunities for students to experience music, visual arts, and drama. In addition to Middle School and Upper School curricular offerings, there are art shows, an all-school musical, one-act plays, and several musical ensembles. The arts faculty includes individuals who perform or create professionally, outside of school, bringing a high level of experience to the classroom. Throughout the year, there are also visiting artists and musicians on campus, exposing students to a wide range of creativity and talent.

Each spring, the school celebrates with a weeklong Festival of the Arts, with opportunities for all students to engage in creative endeavors and to experience the talents of their fellow classmates though concerts, art shows, and performances.
