Arts

Exploring talents, developing self-expression, making connections—that's what the arts program at Presidio Hill School is all about. An invaluable part of each student's experience, the arts are an integral part of school life as witnessed by the many art shows, performances and musical experiences taking place throughout the school year.

Each discipline–Visual Arts and Music–follows its own curriculum, but is also integrated into the wider curriculum at each grade level.  

At Presidio Hill, students are encouraged to take risks, try new experiences, and see themselves and each other as artists-in-action. As in life, students learn through the arts to appreciate diverse identities and perspectives and that the best way to learn is by doing. Art allows students to express themselves and art teachers expertly scaffold skills and confidence-building in order to support students as they learn how to express their own voice.
