Elective Arts
Elective Arts give students the opportunity to explore a wide range of creative skills and subjects, helping them discover new interests and develop existing talents. By rotating a variety of elective courses each semester, students are encouraged to try something new and expand their creative horizons. In addition to these rotating options, we also offer select yearlong courses that allow for deeper skill-building, long-term projects, and sustained artistic growth.
