The Arts at SLS
A nascent creator lies within each of us. St. Luke's arts program opens wide doors to imagination, free creative play and invention. Mentored by talented faculty, students compose their own music in the MIDI lab; paint, sketch, design, and sculpt in the Art House; dance, sing, act, build, produce, and perform in our Seldin Performing Arts Center and Black Box Theater. Through their creative endeavors, our students add dimension—to themselves, their school, and their community.
National Standards for Arts Education
. . . the arts have been an inseparable part of the human journey. That is why, in any civilization, the arts are inseparable from the very meaning of the term 'education.' We know from long experience that no one can claim to be truly educated who lacks basic knowledge and skills in the arts."
