Performing Arts
Marian’s Fine Arts Program encourages its students to express themselves openly on stage, on canvas or through music. Through the arts, students can discover their voice and the freedom to express themselves and develop their full potential.
Furthermore, the Fine Arts Department creates a dynamic influence in the school community in which students and faculty can become more aware of the beauty surrounding them. The department emphasizes the lifelong effect of fine arts and its impact on students’ lives.
Marian provides instruction in instrumental and vocal music, art, dance and drama. Several of these areas offer a four-year academic program of study.
