Westminster Fine Arts
The Westminster Fine Arts program nurtures and develops creative and artistic expression that complements critical thinking and academic skills.
At Westminster, students explore the arts and develop their God-given gifts and talents through the following disciplines: band, choir, dance, orchestra, production, theatre, and visual arts. The Fine Arts curriculum is offered to students from preschool through grade 12, with focused instruction beginning in fourth grade, and has garnered a reputation of excellence and brilliance.
As part of Westminster's mission to develop young hearts with a passion for God, the Fine Arts program is dedicated to propelling students to use the arts as forms of worship, service and thanksgiving. By allowing creativity to flow from a place of deep spiritual connection with God, students are enlightened by the many ways that artistic talent can both honor God and deepen their faith.
