Wexford Collegiate School for the Arts, an outstanding school designed to deliver visual/media arts and the performing arts at a professional level, provides a strong academic, athletic, and technological program for all its students. Its safe and caring environment inspires lifelong learning and a desire for personal excellence.  Visual and Media Arts
The Visual & Media Arts Department at Wexford Collegiate School for the Arts provides breadth and depth in its dynamic programs. We are proud of our Special Series Art program, which requires a portfolio audition for entry. It is an intensive four-year conservatory program, designed to lead to careers in visual and media arts. As the Special Series Art students earn their high school diplomas, they experience a variety of art courses-- 12 art credits in total--the most art credits available to a secondary student in Toronto District School Board, the largest school district in Canada. Also unique to our program is that a student who wishes to return after grade 12, can enroll as a 'Portfolio' student and continue studies in art and other disciplines. Specialized, versatile and dedicated art teachers and visiting artists alike are members of the professional arts community. Visual & Media Arts cover a range of courses in fine arts, design, film/video/animation and photography. We help students prepare their portfolios for college or university fine arts program interviews. We give them the creative freedom to make their mark. Alumni are represented in galleries across the world and in diverse careers in art and design.
Performing Arts
 The
Performing Arts department offers interdisciplinary performance-based
program at the professional level. We offer two unique auditioned
streams: music theatre and drama focus, each consisting of two credits
per year, designed to prepare students for college or university
entrance and a performing arts career. Our students and alumni appear
in dinner theatre, major musicals, films and television productions.
They grace the stage at Shaw Festival and at theatres across Canada.
Teachers and visiting artists are part of the professional arts
community.
  Arts FacilitiesWe feel fortunate to teach art students who are creative, motivated, and caring individuals. Our students play a vital role not only in the Visual & Media Arts or the Performing Arts programs, but also in helping to create a positive vibe within the Wexford school community.

SEATTLE ACADEMY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES, WA
Seattle Academy of Arts and Sciences, located in Seattle's Capitol Hill Area and accredited by the Pacific Northwest Association of Independent Schools, is a rigorous college preparatory school whose mission is to prepare students for college and life.
From
its modest beginnings in 1983, the school took all 50 students on a
journey of academic and artistic exploration. Twenty five years later,
and now 600 students strong in grades 6-12, Seattle Academy has
developed a unique approach to education combining Academics, Arts,
Athletics, Outdoor Experiences, and daily use of Technology into what
has been termed, "A Culture of Performance," integrating creative
thinking, presentation skills, and an ability to take risks into all
aspects of the educational process.
At Seattle Academy, we continue to find innovative ways to
integrate the Arts into our school community as part of our culture of
performance. As part of our final exam process each trimester, the
entire school assembles for a performance by all Arts classes. Whether
performing at the end of trimester, developing award winning films,
presenting portfolios for review, or participating in our outstanding
vocal program, students are continually challenged to find innovative
ways to explore the range of opportunities at Seattle Academy.
Though students may focus on an Arts area, they are both required
and encouraged to explore all the Art forms resulting in skill sets
which are transferable to not only other art forms but toward academic
excellence as well. Whether development of a world premiere musical
based on the novel The Secret of Santa Vittoria or creating and testing
software to assist actors in memorizing lines, the Arts help us define
"The Culture of Performance."
