Performing Arts Coordinator's Message
Dear Parents,
On behalf of the entire Performing Arts Department, we warmly welcome you to this new school year. We are excited and fully prepared to offer our students from preschool through high school meaningful experiences in the arts that foster appreciation, practice, and creative exploration as part of their integral formation.
The arts play a crucial role in each stage of our students' development. They encourage discipline while opening space for imagination, creativity, and self-expression.
Our academic program aligns with the National Core Arts Standards (NCAS), ensuring a high-quality and competitive education while staying true to the fundamental purpose of the arts: to serve as a path for personal discovery, expression, and as a bridge for communication and interaction within our community.
This year, we continue to offer Early Music Education in Preschool, where students begin building a connection with music. In Elementary School, students rotate through a variety of artistic disciplines, including Visual Arts, Drama, Dance, and Musical Instruments. In Middle School, the rotation continues with Percussion, Vocal Music, Visual Arts, and Music Ensemble. Starting in 9th Grade, students begin their journey in elective arts classes, choosing or being assigned one discipline to pursue throughout the school year. In grades 10–12, students have the opportunity to further explore, deepen, or specialize in the arts through elective courses.
We also offer a range of extracurricular activities to support and develop our students’ artistic interests. Additionally, we warmly invite everyone to participate in the exciting artistic events we will be preparing throughout the year in our new theater a wonderful space that will host our main showcases of talent, including the annual show, a much-anticipated tradition that reflects the students’ growth and exposure to the arts. These large-scale multidisciplinary performances provide unforgettable learning experiences and are a true celebration of artistic expression.
Engaging in the arts expands learning, stimulates specific areas of the brain that strengthen cognitive abilities, and fosters mental and emotional balance. The arts offer students valuable experiences in teamwork, recognition, and self-confidence, building strong bonds and a healthy self-esteem.
For all these reasons, we proudly renew our commitment to this meaningful and beautiful work.
Warm regards,,
Performing Arts Coordinator
