Victoria School of the Arts has a dynamic program that will challenge you academically, while encouraging you to explore and develop your unique artistic skills and talents. Victoria School provides a safe, welcoming environment for students who share a commitment to the arts and academics. Victoria School values diversity, which exposes each member of our community to the rich and wonderful variety of the human race.
Staff and students work collaboratively, which inspires a daily atmosphere of creativity, self-discipline, integrity and dedication which allows our students to excel in their arts and academic pursuits. Our hallways are alive with music, dance and dramatic performances. Our gallery walls and new media labs present visual work that is impressive and compelling.
Exposing students, and staff to a wide range of ideas, experiences and cultures through the arts, examining and challenging preconceptions, and exploring different ways of thinking, enhances the learning experience at Victoria School. This inclusive approach leads to a welcoming, supportive and artistic community that embraces differences and promotes genuine respect for each individual.
In today’s complex, changing world, we strive to achieve a clearer understanding of our roles in an interconnected global community. As such, we are proud to be the district’s only K-12 school offering the International Baccalaureate Programme. It is this unique blend of arts and academics that weaves the fabric which makes Victoria school unique. By nurturing a spirit of adventure and inquiry, and promoting disciplined, thoughtful study habits, we give you the capacity to achieve your goals and to contribute to the world community that surrounds you.
Part of the excitement that awaits you is a new facility which will become an integral part of the community. This is your chance to create your own future.
