Where Students Find Their Voice
A critical part of setting your own course is learning how to express yourself. In visual art, theatre, and music, Christchurch students find that voice and learn to share it with the world.
The Arts as Self-Expression
Christchurch's fine and performing arts program treats creativity as a form of self-expression, fueling a passion for artistic integrity, a broader view of world culture, and a stronger connection to a sense of place. And the voice students build here does not stay in the studio. It carries into a college classroom, a job interview, a boardroom, anywhere they are asked to share an idea and be heard.

Signature Traditions
Moments You'll Only See Here
Music as Memory
Music students visit a local memory-care community and build personalized playlists from each patient's youth, watching songs reach people that words no longer can.
An Original Musical, Start to Finish
Every year, students write the script, choose the music, choreograph, build the sets, design costumes, and run lights and sound for an entirely original show.
Shakespeare in Many Languages
Theatre students perform the Bard in English, Chinese, Spanish, and more, for audiences who feel every bit of the emotion.
A Sound Heard Only Here
The chapel choir, the Cantorion ensemble, and student bands with Turkish, Chinese, Vietnamese, and American members.
Art has helped me become a more confident person. I've learned to embrace my mistakes and make them into something new. It's a passion that's allowed me to embrace each part of myself.
Sydney Pitts, Class of 2017
Three Ways to Create
Every student can find a place here, whether they have made art for years or are picking up a brush, a script, or a song for the first time.
Visual Arts
From landscape and portrait to abstract and digital, students work across mediums and show their pieces in campus galleries and beyond.
Performing Arts
Theatre and student-led productions, where students try acting, directing, design, and everything else that brings a show to life.
Music
Choral and instrumental ensembles, bands, and advanced study, open to every student and performing on and off campus, with a place to start whatever your experience.
It's all connected
