Visual & Performing Arts

Our Visual and Performing Arts Department believes the arts invite students to grow in awareness of their relationship to their surroundings and to one another. Our aim is to develop aesthetic literacy and connect to the many commonalities of human existence through a Lasallian world view. Our classes are structured to encompass both autonomy and teamwork, whereby students can work on individual skills as well as contribute to a larger community. At the same time, we recognize the diversity of learning styles and abilities among our students and provide for these in an atmosphere that is dedicated to developing creativity, confidence, self-discipline, cooperation, and a sense of both history and contemporary life through the various disciplines employed in the arts.
