Visual Arts

Creating Boldly. Thinking Creatively. Expressing Authentically.

At The Blessed Sacrament Huguenot School, the Visual Arts are a vibrant part of our commitment to developing the whole student. Through a dynamic, hands-on curriculum, students from every grade level are encouraged to explore their creativity, build artistic skills, and express their unique perspectives.

We believe the arts are essential—not extracurricular. They teach innovation, patience, focus, and the courage to take risks, all while fostering beauty, curiosity, and joy.

• Program Highlights:
  • Art Instruction from Early Learners to Upper School
    • Our youngest students begin their artistic journey through color exploration, shape recognition, and guided creativity. As students grow, so does their mastery of media, technique, and personal expression.
  • Middle and Upper School Studio Art Courses
    • Students advance through foundational and specialized courses, working with a variety of materials including drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, fibers, ceramics, and digital design.
  • Advanced Courses & Portfolio Development
    • High school students can pursue Art I–IV, Ceramics & Fibers, Digital Art, and Advanced Placement (AP) Drawing or AP 3D Art, building a professional portfolio for college applications or personal achievement.
  • Showcasing Student Work
    • Artwork is regularly displayed on campus and in the community. Students also participate in regional competitions and art shows.
  • Arts Abroad Opportunities
    • Students have the chance to experience global creativity and inspiration through curated Arts Abroad trips, exploring the intersection of history, culture, and artistic expression.

A Culture of Expression and Excellence
Our visual arts program is more than skill-building—it’s identity-shaping. In every brushstroke, sketch, sculpture, or digital design, our students learn to think independently, express confidently, and create boldly.

Art is not a class at BSH—it’s a calling we nurture.
