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.
