FACE offers a unique fine arts program that focuses on four subjects: instrumental and vocal music, visual arts and drama. All four fine arts courses are mandatory at all levels from grade 1 through high school.
The purpose of the program is not to train professional artists. The goal is to learn through the arts, as opposed to learning the arts.
The arts program makes up a third of all classes at every level, or approximately 6 to 9 hours of class time per week depending on the grade level.
