Fine Arts
At Heritage, the arts are a core part of the curriculum. We feel it’s impossible to nurture and develop the whole child without the creative nature of the arts.
Whether through music ensembles, visual arts, theatre, photography, or other opportunities, our students are encouraged to explore various artistic disciplines that engage and grow their creative talents and gifts.
Every student (from preschool through grade 12) participates in the arts because research shows that involvement in the arts strengthens academic success and increases the likelihood of graduating with honors.
