Arts
Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy has also historically had a strong arts program, both in the classroom and as an extracurricular activity. Classes include: Theatre I, II, III, IV; Stagecraft; Dance I, II, III, IV; Ceramics; AP 2-D Design; AP Drawing; 3-D Design; AP Art History; Music Ensemble (traditional orchestra); Contemporary Music Ensemble (rock band) and Choir are just some of the activities that students may take as electives.
Visual arts students display their work in an exhibit at the end of the school year. Music students generally perform in two concerts: one during the holiday season, and another at the end of the year. Dance students perform in the yearly Dance Concert along with members of the two dance companies, Junior Saltatrix and Senior Saltatrix, who audition to join.
Outside of the classroom, a fall musical and spring play involve students interested in acting and singing. Recent productions have included Chicago, The Miracle Worker, Evita! and Steel Magnolias. Students can also join FSHA’s ComedySportz team, which performs throughout the year.

Famous quotes containing the word arts:
“The textile and needlework arts of the world, primarily because they have been the work of women have been especially written out of art history. It is a male idea that to be “high” and “fine” both women and art should be beautiful, but not useful or functional.”
—Patricia Mainardi (b. 1942)
“Eliot dead, you saying,
“And who is left to understand my jokes?
My old Brother in the arts . . . and besides, he was a smash of
poet.””
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
“No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.... For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts. In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
