Visual Arts

The Visual Arts program encourages students to experiment, create, and think critically about the world through artistic expression.

Students work across a variety of 2-D and 3-D media, exploring techniques and concepts through hands-on studio practice. Students are encouraged to develop technical skills while also discovering their own artistic voice.

Areas of study include:

• Drawing and painting
• Sculpture
• Printmaking
• Mixed media
• Design fundamentals

In addition to studio work, students engage with art history and appreciation, learning how to analyze works of art, compare artistic styles and movements, and understand the role of art across cultures and time periods.

Museum visits, discussion, research, and observation help students build a lifelong appreciation for the arts.

Vocal Music

Our music program offers vocal and instrumental opportunities for students in grades 5 through 12, as well as coursework in music theory. 

Music students perform throughout the year at school events and showcase their talents in our cherished Christmas and Spring Concerts and our Annual Benefit. 

Students explore topics such as:

• Scales and chords
• Key signatures
• Musical form
• Composition and original work
• Performance technique
   

Theatre

Holy Child’s theatre program gives students opportunities to develop skills in acting, directing, Improvisation, set design, musical theatre, and stage crew. 

Through our student theatre company, The Gryphon Players, students participate in full-scale productions each year, including an Upper School fall play, Upper School winter musical, and a Middle School spring musical.

These experiences foster creativity, collaboration, and confidence both on and off the stage.

Dance

Dance offerings range from beginner to advanced levels and introduce students to both the technical and expressive dimensions of movement. 

As students progress, they deepen their understanding of form, expression, and performance. Dance students perform throughout the school year at school events, including the Christmas and Spring Concerts and liturgies. 

Students may explore styles such as ballet, modern dance, jazz, and hip-hop.

Performing Arts

The performing arts at Holy Child invite students to express themselves through vocal music, instrumental music, dance, and theatre.

Whether performing on stage, singing in concert, or exploring movement through dance, students develop confidence, discipline, collaboration, and creative expression.
