Cape Henry Collegiate prides itself on a strong and successful arts program. Our knowledgeable and caring faculty guide students in their exploration of both the visual and performing arts. Budding artists are encouraged to discover their own unique passions and talents in the world of the arts. Whether refining their skills on an instrument, utilizing their voice during a choral performance, or expressing the world around them through pottery, photography, or paints, Cape Henry develops confident and competent art students.
The music program at Cape Henry Collegiate seeks to foster in each student the development of basic music ability with the long-range goal of creating musical independence and a lifelong appreciation for music. Because music is a basic expression of human culture, every student should have access to a balanced, comprehensive, and sequential program of study in music.
Cape Henry believes that the performing arts are essential in developing the minds of the future. Our programs seek to provide opportunities for every student to gain confidence through practicing courage, self-expression, creative problem-solving, and collaboration, through experimenting creatively, and through the development of critical-thinking skills through reflection on the artistic process.
The prominent position the arts play in the curriculum symbolizes Cape Henry’s deep belief in the art’s indispensable role in a well-rounded education.
