Fine Arts Academy

The Fine Arts Academies are schools that offer a wider variety of Fine Arts courses and activities than most schools.  These programs often focus on one particular area or are for a particular population. 

• St. Nicholas Catholic Junior High School offers students opportunities to explore a variety of Fine Arts subjects.  The opportunities for performance are numerous with students presenting at their school events, Division events and at their feeder elementary schools.
   
• St. Martin Catholic Elementary School is a single track Ukrainian Bilingual program school and St. Matthew Catholic Elementary School is a dual track Ukrainian Bilingual program. Both schools offer the Ukrainian Dance Academy to the students enroled at their schools only.  The program develops the child’s expressive and artistic skills through dance and ballet and the students are taught by Ukrainian dance specialists and RAD trained ballet instructors.  The Dance program is taught within the Alberta Program of Studies and the Academy is partnered with the Alberta Ukrainian Dance Association.  This tuition-based optional program does not compete with other established dance groups.  Rather the Dance Academy is a support for Ukrainian Dance groups in that it provides serious dance students with additional dance opportunities within a school context. Academy students will not tour, perform or compete as Academy members. Academy members are encouraged to join established dance groups.
