Saint Mary’s Fine & Performing
Arts Program: A Stand Out for Success
While other schools are moving
away from providing art and
enrichment programs for their
students, at The Schools of Saint
Mary we are enhancing our existing
Fine and Performing Arts
Programs at both the middle
school and high school levels.
With a rich tradition in music,
theatre, and fine arts, St. Mary’s
offers dynamic programs in orchestra,
general
music, chorus,
dance, the performing
arts, and
fine arts. During
the middle
school years,
students get a
taste of the Fine
and Performing
Arts Program
they will have the
opportunity to
experience once
they move on
to Saint Mary’s
High School, where the curriculum
motivates students to pursue
their post-secondary studies in
fine and performing arts.
This year marks the 12th anniversary
of our Elementary
School’s collaboration with The
Josephine Foundation. In conjunction
with The Foundation,
the Fine and Performing Arts
Program has been developed as
curriculum for the high school,
which made its debut two years
ago. After a triumphant launch,
the Program was further enhanced
with the addition of
dance, voice and orchestra.
Unlike other schools, St.
Mary’s utilizes professional performers
and directors. This team
of passionate instructors inspires
our students with experiences
that stimulate their ability to
think critically as individuals, and
as a community of artists. This
formula makes the St. Mary’s
Program a stand out for success.
“It is through the disciplines
of a properly run performing arts
program that young people and
adults can reach for and achieve
their dreams regardless of their
race, creed, or nationality,” said
Andrew J. Koslosky, chairman of
The Josephine Foundation.
Students are empowered to
actively participate in meaningful
collaborations with their fellow
students and instructors
throughout the year. This crossover
practice enables students to
step outside the box and reach
their maximum potential in their
performances. Each experience
culminates with specific productions
and showcase opportunities
that places the multi talents of the
students in the spotlight whether
on stage or in the art gallery. Our
programs ensure that students
develop a sense of artistic and
personal discipline, responsibility
and commitment to the arts.
The Schools of Saint Mary feature an N-12 program in a nurturing,
Catholic environment. Conveniently located in Manhasset, our
beautiful, state-of-the-art campus is accessible by public transportation.
