Embrace your creativity! Canadian Academy boasts a rich arts program.
All students will study the arts as part of their daily classes, and there are countless opportunities for students to get involved outside of the classroom as well. Our extensive Arts program is reflected in our school facilities, renovated summer 2025.
Visual Arts
In Early Childhood and Elementary, our students learn to embrace their creativity and explore the elements of art through a variety of projects.
In Middle and High School, students have the opportunity to continue their artistic journey. Through guided projects and artist investigations, students will refine their skills and develop more sophisticated methodology. Throughout the year, student works are displayed in our atrium during our regular Art Exhibitions.
Theatre
Our Middle and High School theatre program teaches students to collaborate, create, and perform. Students learn how all the elements of a drama production, from script-writing and costuming to lighting and sound production, come together to tell a story.
In addition to our in-class theatre program, students have the chance to join the Middle School or High School drama productions which take place every year as an extra- or co-curricular activity.
Dance
In Elementary School, students are introduced to dances from around the world, gaining an appreciation for diverse cultures and movement.
In our MYP Dance classes, students take this exploration further, immersing themselves in a wide range of styles while building essential skills in collaboration, technique, and cultural understanding. They learn to express themselves with confidence, create original choreography, and develop the discipline to plan, refine, and perform with purpose.
Music
Starting in Early Childhood and Elementary, our students try out different instruments, and are introduced to concepts like rhythm and harmony. This knowledge is displayed during grade level performances.
In Middle and High School, students can develop their musical specialty further in Choir, Band, Digital Music, or Orchestra classes. In these classes, students explore advanced techniques and solidify their ability to play the instrument of their choice. Be sure not to miss our bi-annual concerts, where students from all classes work together as an ensemble.
