Performing Arts
The Theater Arts are used as a conduit for self-confidence and self-awareness. A 4-year curriculum supplementing rigorous college preparatory coursework is offered where students can take 1 to 2 periods of theater daily. Students acquire skills used in theatre and performance as well as other career paths. Learners focus on directing, playwriting, musical theater, and technical design. A senior-year Exit Project is completed for all students so they may earn an arts endorsed diploma.
