Arts

St. Mary’s celebrates the Arts. The Arts change the learning environment into one of self-discovery and help students connect with each other. Research supports that when the Arts are integrated into learning, students have enhanced learning experiences and achievement as well as more positive social outcomes in school. Teachers of the Arts are trained in understanding the Arts as disciplines of study. The Arts expand the boundaries of learning for students and encourage creative thinking. Students are able to get involved in the Arts through both course selection (see upper school course catalog) and extra-curricular activities.
