Students in grades K-8 attend art class once per week. Student projects are age appropriate, and encourage good listening skills and following directions, as well as introducing students to a wide variety of media. From watercolors to pastels, modeling clay to plaster of Paris, yarn, found objects, and everything in between, students are given project guidelines and free-range creativity!

Students also learn art history and about notable artists from around the world, and across centuries, as well as ancient and modern techniques of painting, drawing, sculpting, and more.

Preschoolers create arts and crafts every day! The artwork they produce from their letter and number learning is compiled into a scrapbook that is sent home at the end of the year. They also have lots of opportunity to develop fine motor skills by experimenting with Play-doh, coloring projects, stringing beads, and more.

Children’s Choir

The Children's Choir gives students the opportunity to use their voices in praise and adoration to God. The choir performs at Sunday Mass as well as the Mass on Fridays when the whole school is in attendance. The choir provides a wonderful and youthful sound to the Mass and also displays the student’s individual ability to lead and sing solo. Singing in this ensemble has proven to be a highly spiritually rewarding experience for the students. Choir is an after school club.

Please see the Choir page for more information.
