Fine Arts

In the Fine Arts, students cultivate the intellectual habits by which they may appreciate works of art and learn the skills necessary to create them. Such works, as human participations in the harmony and order of divine creation, offer praise and glory to Almighty God. Saint Agnes School, focusing on the great tradition of Catholic literature, art, music, and architecture, offers courses in studio arts, performing arts, and history. (The Educational Philosophy of Saint Agnes School, 2016, p. 4).
