Fine Arts

Whether you're Monet, Picasso or an aspiring young artist, Oakley School recognizes everyone has perspectives to share and lessons to learn through the medium of art: sculpting excess to find success; infusing vibrant life on barren canvas; enacting humanity's truths on stage; or challenging assumptions through unique perceptions.

Knowledge, tolerance, and respect for life are some of the welcome traits of someone who loves the arts. Students find healthy methods of self-expression while developing their gifts and sharing their talents.

We offer art courses each trimester and module blocks ranging from introductory to advanced courses:

These courses are available within the academic curriculum and are designed to assist each student with their portfolio development or expose them to new mediums and methods of self-expression. We incorporate these courses into our module offerings with classes meeting on Fridays and Saturdays. Professionals in visual, performing and media arts help our students tap into their individual creativity in a warm, relaxed atmosphere. All students are required to take at least one art course each academic year, and not surprisingly, all have found they have something to say...or draw...or paint...or create.
