-VPA STUDENTS HARD AT WORK-

The Holmdel Township School District places great importance on the role of Arts Education, encompassing culinary, dance, music, theatre, and visual arts, as an integral component of a comprehensive curriculum. We firmly believe that arts education is crucial for fostering 21st-century learning skills. By engaging in arts education, students not only develop an appreciation for various art forms but also enhance their critical and creative thinking abilities.

Furthermore, we recognize that the arts serve as a bridge, enabling students to broaden their perspectives and gain a deeper understanding of their world, including the diverse cultural influences that surround them. With this understanding in mind, the Holmdel Township School District is fully committed to supporting and nurturing the visual and performing arts.

We offer a wide range of academic offerings and extracurricular activities dedicated to the visual and performing arts. These opportunities go beyond the confines of the classroom, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience for our students. Our goal is to provide a platform that encourages artistic exploration and fosters growth in both personal and creative dimensions.

As an educational institution, we remain dedicated to empowering our students through the visual and performing arts, fostering their artistic talents, and enabling them to realize their full potential.
