Visual & Performing Arts at Crossroads is one of the cornerstones of our curriculum, encouraging creative growth in a challenging yet nurturing environment through courses and co-curricular activities in visual arts, music, and theater.
Faculty encourages artistic growth and creative thinking through a strong foundation of technical skills and visual problem solving. Students are encouraged to be aware of and respond to the world around them with their own unique vision. Through process and practice students develop the confidence to express that vision and strengthen their voice.
We educate and prepare all students and provide a strong college preparatory platform for those students seeking a career in the arts. Many students go on to pursue careers as working artists in fine arts, music, theater, and television/film.
