Dynamic Arts Programming At Appleby

"The Arts Programme at Appleby College offers students opportunities to stretch their creativity while showcasing and developing their talents. Our dynamic programming provides academic instruction in Dance, Drama, Media, Music (Instrumental, Jazz, Strings, and Vocal), and Visual Arts as well as a multitude of co-curricular and club options. Through the Arts, we become better listeners, collaborators, and leaders as we learn more about ourselves, others, and the world around us."
