Through the arts, students learn to think imaginatively, identify and solve problems, empathize with others, think critically, communicate effectively and appreciate the skills and accomplishments of others. Everyone is welcome to come and join our Arts-based communities!
Claude Watson School for the Arts (Grades 4 - 8)
Each year, 60 students are admitted into the Grade 4 program. Students spend approximately half their day on academic curriculum (language, French, math, science, social studies, health and physical education) and the other half is spent immersed in the Arts. All students participate in dance, drama, music and visual arts. In Grade 5, students are introduced to digital arts.
In November 2022, students may apply for admission to Grades 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. Students will be admitted in Grades 5 - 8 if space is available.
Karen Kain School for the Arts (Grades 6 - 8)

In November 2022, students may apply for admissions to Grades 6 and 7. Students will be admitted in Grade 7 if space is available.
