CAD

   The School of Creative Arts and Design By definition, CAD is designed for students whose interests and abilities lie in the creative and/or expressive realms.

   Students who wish to pursue visual, written and/or performing arts, and an educational base that allows for college prep classes with an emphasis on the Fine Arts should take a serious look at CAD.

   Classes are structured like a standard, high school-based curriculum, but allow for individual creative expression and a more “hands-on” or “performancebased” learning environment.

    Much like a school of Fine Arts, required coursework includes all the core courses; mathematics, sciences, language arts and social studies, but electives are geared towards the highly creative student.

    Students select from a comprehensive set of art and design courses including Photography, Graphic Design, Visual Arts I-IV, Fashion Design, Drama, Creative Writing, and Vocal and Musical performance.

    In addition, an emphasis on portfolio work exists in many of these classes to prepare students for their eventual application to colleges of Fine Arts.
