"Created in the image of God, man also expresses the truth of his relationship with God the Creator by the beauty of his artistic works.... Arising from talent given by the Creator and from man's own effort, art is a form of practical wisdom." -Catechism of the Catholic Church 2501
The arts exist at Holy Spirit Prep to develop an appreciation of truth and beauty in our students. Through the arts, we express our knowledge of and relationship with God by creating beautiful things. The arts also build character - virtues of hard work and humility.
The Upper School at Holy Spirit Prep offers a comprehensive program in the three main areas of the fine arts: visual arts, theater, and music. The fine arts serve as a pillar in the mission of the school to offer each child the opportunity to develop in their own interests and experience a complete education.
Special fine art opportunities for the Upper School include:
- Multiple drama productions a year
- Vocal and instrumental instruction and performances
- ROMA: Fine Arts night hosted by the Senior class
- Archdiocesan Annual Art Show
