Fine Arts
The music program is centered on choral instruction, where the various student choirs play a part in the liturgy of the Mass. There are several choral concerts throughout the year as well as a series of sacred music performances. Many of the Academy’s students also participate in extracurricular arts activities such as theater performances.
Starting in 2011 and in keeping with the classical curriculum, classes in the History of Art in Western civilization are taken in both the middle and upper schools.
