Programme Structure

Pervasive Track (Embrace)

This foundational track is designed for all students, using inquiry-based learning to nurture essential art knowledge and skills while developing creative thinking and problem-solving abilities. Students learn to appreciate art and culture while applying artistic habits of mind to other subjects and daily life. Through school-wide art activities and exhibitions, they gain confidence in artistic expression and develop a broader understanding of art's role in society.

Specialist Track  (Engage & Excel)

This advanced track is tailored for students who show keen interest and talent in art. Through deep engagement in the creative process, mentorship opportunities with professional artists, and advanced studio practice, students engage in deeper artistic inquiry. This inquiry-based approach helps them build strong portfolios and gain valuable industry exposure. They participate in external exhibitions and competitions, preparing them for further art education and potential careers in creative fields.
