Arts
At Saint Andrew’s, we believe in delivering an exceptional education that strikes the right balance and combines a strong academic curriculum with the Arts. We encourage our students to explore and develop their talents and offer numerous opportunities in the Visual and Performing Arts, as well as in our Film and Broadcasting program.
The goal of the Arts Department is to encourage individual creative expression, develop specific skills and techniques, and to learn to communicate with an audience through exhibitions and performances. We also hope to help our students nurture an appreciation of all art forms.

The Visual Arts Program encourages creativity and teaches fundamental elements of design. It provides students with challenging opportunities to explore their creative potential and to discover new and insightful ways of viewing and analyzing the world. The program strives to expand students’ abilities to distinguish and appreciate the arts as a historical reflection of humankind, its values, and cultures.
Students are introduced to a variety of techniques that serve as the building blocks for a solid artistic foundation. While acquiring and improving the fundamental skills central to all visual art mediums – composition, form, light, color, line, shape, and texture– students explore their individuality and expand their creative spirit.
