The Arts
Nurturing Creative Expression
Fine Arts at St. Sebastian’s encourages boys to cultivate their creativity—whether discovering hidden talents or honing their skills as accomplished artists.
Inspiring faculty members give each boy the confidence he needs to express his individuality—through music, in the studio, behind the lens, at the potter’s wheel, or on stage.
Bringing the Arts to Life
Students and faculty share stories of discovery, passion, and creative expression.
From bringing artistic design into the Innovation Lab to documenting the world through photography or singing the national anthem to a crowd, students have countless opportunities to showcase their talents.
