PHILOSOPHY AND PLACEMENT

Artistic vision inspires innovation. A Visual and Media Arts program that embraces visual, material, and digital literacies is essential for a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, global education. We value artistic rigor and excellence, process and risk-taking, critical thinking and personal voice. With traditional and contemporary media, our students become curious and informed navigators of a complex visual world. In Visual and Media Arts, most Upper School classes are available to all students grades 9-12. Questions about enrollment in these classes should be directed either to the Department Chair or the individual teacher.

REQUIREMENTS

Middle School students choose a Visual and Media Arts Course, a Performing Arts Course, or Robotics to fill the Arts requirement. For graduation, Windward requires two years of Visual and Media Arts or Performing Arts in grades 9-12. The UC requirement is one year of either visual or performing arts.
