The Arts are Alive at Holy Comforter

We believe that students can discover a life long appreciation for the arts through participation. Students are enabled to pursue their optimum competence in the visual arts, vocal and instrumental music, and performing arts.

The performing, visual, and musical arts are central to the Holy Comforter experience. We believe that our students become more adept learners, passionate problem-solvers, confident public speakers and, most importantly, culturally aware citizens through their experience with the arts.

Visual Arts

We believe giving students an opportunity for self expression and discovery of their unique gifts, encourages self confidence and broadens their creative thinking.  With dedicated art studios, opportunities are created for students to develop fine motor skills and creativity through the arts of drawing, painting, sculpting, ceramics and more. Deeply integrated into the curriculum, especially through our project-based learning programs, students learn about art history, storytelling and tap their creativity to bring their learning to life.

Performing Arts

From movement, song and dance in the preschool to music classes, annual class performances in the elementary school, musical theater and instrumental electives in Middle School and Chapel presentations, our students take center stage all year long, developing confidence in themselves as presenters, creators of music, singers and dancers. Click here to view our Chapel Cam Students develop as ensemble and individual performers and have a lot of fun in the process!

STEAM

With the addition of The Commons Performing Arts Center and Cafe, we are elevating our STEM program to a STEAM program - now including the Arts!  With a full performing arts theatre and dedicated space for the arts, brain-based learning opportunities will be available for students from PK3 – 8th grade. The latest research reinforces that when children receive sequential music instruction, it can impact their proficiency in language, reading, math and cognition.
