St. Mary’s Fine and
Performing Arts
Program:
A Stand Out for Success
While other schools are moving away from providing art and enrichment programs
for their students, at The Schools of Saint Mary we are enhancing our existing Fine
and Performing Arts Programs at both the middle school and high school levels.
With a rich tradition in music, theatre and fine arts, St. Mary’s offers dynamic
programs in orchestra, general music, chorus, dance, theatre, and fine arts. During
the middle school years, students get a taste of the Fine and Performing Arts
Program they will have the opportunity to experience once they move on to St.
Mary’s High School where the curriculum motivates students to pursue their
post-secondary studies in fine and performing arts.
This year marks the 16th anniversary of our Elementary School’s collaboration with
The Josephine Foundation. In conjunction with The Foundation, the Fine and
Performing Arts Program was developed as curriculum for the High School and
made its debut six years ago.
Unlike other schools, St. Mary’s utilizes professional performers and directors. This
team of passionate instructors inspires our students with experiences that
stimulate their ability to think critically as individuals, and as a community of
artists. This formula makes the St. Mary’s Program a stand out for success.
“It is through the disciplines of a properly run performing arts
program that young people and adults can reach for and achieve
their dreams regardless of their race, creed, or nationality,” said
Andrew J. Koslosky, chairman of The Josephine Foundation.
Students are empowered to actively participate in meaningful collaborations with
their fellow students and instructors throughout the year. This crossover practice
enables students to step outside the box and reach their maximum potential in
their performances. Each experience culminates with specific productions and
showcase opportunities that places the multi talents of the students in the
spotlight whether on stage or in the art gallery. Our programs ensure that students
develop a sense of artistic and personal discipline, responsibility and commitment
to the arts.
The Schools of Saint Mary feature an N-12 program
in a nurturing, Catholic environment. Conveniently located in
Manhasset, our beautiful, state-of-the-art campus
is accessible by public transportation.
