Arts
La Salle Academy has an extensive fine arts program, offering electives and extracurricular activities in music, acting, visual arts, photography, video production, and dance. "La Salle Academy offers its students a unique and demanding secondary school performing arts program. The goal of the program is to empower its students to succeed not only on stage, but to provide them with the confidence to excel in many endeavors with the positive self-image developed through participation in the arts. These outcomes are fostered in a variety of ways. In an effort to provide co-curricular activities that support our academic offerings in the performing arts, La Salle offers its students membership in many after school activities. These performing arts opportunities include participation in: The Internationally Recognized La Salle Players, the La Salle Concert Choir, Men’s and Women’s A Cappella, two sections of Dance Club, and Spün, performance poetry group."

Famous quotes containing the word arts:
“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)
“Women hock their jewels and their husbands’ insurance policies to acquire an unaccustomed shade in hair or crêpe de chine. Why then is it that when anyone commits anything novel in the arts he should be always greeted by this same peevish howl of pain and surprise? One is led to suspect that the interest people show in these much talked of commodities, painting, music, and writing, cannot be very deep or very genuine when they so wince under an unexpected impact.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet. When members of the arts community were asked this week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company’s behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
