The life of the arts, far from being an interruption, a distraction, in the life of a nation, is close to the center of the nation’s purpose — and is a test of the quality of a nation’s civilization.”
— John F. Kennedy
 
We prepare students to think both creatively and critically. Students are trained to be producers of art and a source of knowledge and motivation for the community. We build on pre-existing skills and develop new ones, helping students to gain confidence in their fellow students.
 
We encourage the exploration of values and standards by exposing students to a broad range of artistic, moral and historic concepts. Our instructors promote spiritual and personal growth within an environment that acknowledges differences in learning styles.
 
We offer information and enrichment to the school and diocesan communities by providing quality opportunities for display of talent.
 
We encourage life-long participation in the arts, appreciation for the uniqueness of each person, and responsibility for the stewardship of God-given gifts.
 
We strive for their highest standards in all things, preparing our students for active participation in the community for the service of others.
 
We work to build a community of scholars and practitioners of all the fine and performing arts.
