The Arts
Experience in the arts - drama, music and visual arts - play a valuable role in the education of all students. Through participation in the arts, students can develop creative skills, learn about their own identity, and develop self-awareness, self-confidence and a sense of well-being.
The arts nourish the imagination and develop and sense of beauty, while providing unique ways for students to gain insights into the world around them. Through the study of works of art from various cultures, students deepen their appreciation and understanding of diverse perspectives and develop the ability to approach others with openness and flexibility.
Education in the arts involves students intellectually, emotionally, socially and physically. The arts curriculum is based on four central points - developing creativity, communicating, understanding culture and making connections.
Explore your musical talents through a variety of instruments within our concert band and jazz band. Develop your skills in performance, ensemble playing, and music theory.
Immerse yourself in the world of modern music creation. Learn the art of recording, mixing, and mastering music using industry-standard software and equipment. Discover the creative process behind producing your own unique sound.
Whether you're a budding instrumentalist or an aspiring music producer, Aldershot School provides a supportive and inspiring environment for you to nurture your musical talents and unleash your creativity.
The Aldershot Visual Art program focuses on broadening horizons - may it be new materials, new techniques, new artists, and new ideas - Visual Art is bound to challenge you and amaze you with what YOU can do!
