Fine Arts

The BCSD Visual & Performing Arts Department

strives to provide quality, standards-based

arts instruction to all students in all schools.

Elementary schools offer general music and visual arts or a combination creative arts class, while middle and high schools offer a variety of arts classes including instrumental music (strings, band, steel drums), chorus, theater, dance and visual arts (drawing, design, painting, ceramics, and photography).   

Because the arts contribute to the total development of the individual and serve a vital role in society, the Visual & Performing Arts Department is committed to:

• Learning in, through and about the arts
• Building a network of community arts and cultural institutions that support teachers and students in a standards-based arts curriculum

• Addressing multiple intelligences, creative thinking, and cultural diversity
