High School:
Arts
The Arts program in our school, including dance, drama, media arts, music, and visual arts, plays a crucial role in the holistic education of our students. It is a vibrant field of study that nurtures creativity, personal identity, self-awareness, and emotional well-being.
Students learn to appreciate art from various cultures, broadening their perspective and fostering openness and flexibility. They also discover the power of art to communicate personal and collective stories, traditions, and values, especially in the context of Canadian cultural diversity.
Studying the arts enables students to apply their learning in various contexts, from historical understanding to personal expression. It prepares them to actively engage in cultural life and equips them with the skills for critical analysis and aesthetic judgement.
Why it’s important?
Participation in the arts is more than an academic exercise; it’s a profound way for students to experience joy, wonder, and a sense of achievement. The arts provide unique avenues for understanding the world, fostering a sense of beauty and nourishing the imagination. Through artistic expression, students explore complex verbal, visual, and aural symbols, gaining diverse insights into the human condition and societal values.
