St. Anthony Catholic School students, pre-kindergarten through sixth grade (PreK4-6th), eagerly participate in an outstanding integrated arts education program. The arts play a major role in helping students address broad curriculum themes and achieve our goal of nurturing imagination, discipline, collaboration, inquiry, divergent problem solving, empathy and making connections.

Integrating the Arts

St. Anthony Catholic School enhances our core curriculum with arts integration, thus empowering students to apply their knowledge in a creative form. Each year, student talents are highlighted through various types of art exhibits, choral, dramatic and instrumental performances.

All of St. Anthony Catholic School students experience music and visual art classes as a regular part of their school day. Theatre, music, visual art, and movement are incorporated into the regular classrooms as part of the teachers’ daily instruction. Additional enrichment opportunities are offered to older students, while all may pursue an area of artistic interest through Via Creativa.

Through the fine arts, students gain self-confidence, improve their organizational abilities, enhance leadership and teamwork skills, and gain a deeper understanding of commitment, both to themselves and to their peers.

Empowering Creative Students with Creative Teachers

All faculty members are cross-trained in the discipline of integrating the arts into grade- level curriculum. Staff members specializing in the fine arts are well recognized and awarded in their fields on local, state, and national levels.
