Through integrated arts classes, students engage in their own art production while studying the artifacts, architecture, and performing arts of the cultures they explore. Ross students also have opportunities to pursue media studies and enroll in a variety of arts electives in music, theater, studio art, graphic design, photography, film, and museum studies.Interscholastic athletics are also a key part of the Ross educational program, in which students are provided with challenges that inspire them to levels of achievement far past their perceived limits. Students are required to participate in at least one season of a team sport while at Ross, though many choose to participate and develop their athletic skills beyond that requirement.

In addition to promoting physical skill and coordination development, Ross coaches are responsible for teaching students appropriate attitudes toward citizenship, sportsmanship, and cooperation, as well as guiding them in developing self-discipline and positive self-esteem through their athletic endeavors.
