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:
“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)
“It never was in the power of any man or any community to call the arts into being. They come to serve his actual wants, never to please his fancy.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“When tillage begins, other arts follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of human civilization.”
—Daniel Webster (1782–1852)
