The Fine Arts

The fine arts are an important part of what we offer at St. Charles Catholic School.

At our Catholic classical school, the fine arts include painting, drawing and music. These disciplines nurture creativity, aesthetic sensitivity, and an appreciation for beauty—all of which deepen students’ understanding of God’s creation and lead them toward a greater grasp of truth.

Opportunities for drama and oral recitation are also woven into the curriculum, helping students develop confidence, clarity in speech, and a love for the spoken word. All students learn not only music theory, the art of performance, but also how to connect with the depths of order and objective beauty communicated by sacred music.

St. Charles middle school students may choose either orchestra (strings) or music (choir) as their annual music elective. All students learn not only music theory and the art of performance, but also how to connect with the depths of order and objective beauty communicated by sacred music.

The middle school choir is part of our weekly school Mass. Our K-8 students perform two major productions per year – an Advent/Christmas Prayer Service in December and a musical concert in the Spring.
