Just as the school's arts programs maintain the highest instructional standards, academic programs provide educational excellence to prepare students for collegiate and career successes. Students fulfill their South Carolina high school requirements with teachers who are focused on providing innovative approaches to traditional subjects.

HUMANITIES

The Humanities course emphasizes the arts in context so that students have an opportunity to study the ways in which the arts speak to each other as they also connect to specific times, places and people. The guiding questions discussed throughout their Humanities experience are: Who are we as artists? Why do we do what we do? Why do the arts have value for society?
