The visual/media art programs routinely guide students through the creation of stunning, thought-provoking and important artistic creations. While working alongside the teachers, the students are exposed to a variety of forms and processes that permit students to express themselves and their perspectives about the world around them. Utilizing both classic artistic practices and the newest technologies, the visual art program is an incredible addition to students’ 21st century learning experience. In addition to classes in Art, Media Art, Photography, Yearbook design and more, students can take part in extra-curricular opportunities such as Art club, mural design, and theatre set design.
The drama program at The Woodlands provides students with an engaging environment to develop their skills. Woodlands drama is unique in that classes are delivered as acting workshops where students get ample opportunity to work one on one with the teachers to help them develop and hone their craft. Drama acts as a catalyst for students to understand and deconstruct their perspectives, emotions and understanding of self, to better arm themselves with the emotional maturity to take on a complex world. In addition to exciting curricular offerings in Drama and Musical Theatre, there are countless ways for students to get involved outside of class as well!
The music program at The Woods is one of the strongest music programs in Canada. With classes for beginners and repertoire classes for students who are experienced in Music, the program is second to none. The growth that the students are able to make as musicians is astounding! In addition to engaging, exciting classes that further develop a student’s love of Music, there are a ton of extra-curricular opportunities for the students: the Jazz Bands, the Concert Bands and the Choirs have won awards all over the world! Whether performing for the community in The Woodlands or in competitions in Toronto, Italy, Austria (to name a few), this is a program you do not want to miss! The incredible teachers working with the students have turned the music program in to something that is known across the globe.
