AC ARTS PROGRAM
Arts Education is Essential!
AC Arts is a program created by the Fine Arts Department of Archbishop Curley High School to promote music and arts in our community. AC Arts is a curriculum-driven course of study designed for Curley students, as well as non-Curley students of all ages, abilities and levels. Music and art lessons are customized to the student's needs and follow the age-old method of master artists -- personalized one-on-one instruction. Performance is an integral component in the development of the young artist; consequently, there will be opportunities for all students to showcase their work.
The AC Arts Faculty is a select team of Baltimore's finest professional performing musicians/artists and educators. For more detail on the faculty and instructors, click here.
Archbishop Curley's administration, faculty, and staff take great pride in creating a professional learning environment. It is expected that all AC Arts students exhibit appropriate behavior, dress and grooming. Attire may be casual, but should be appropriate to the educational growth of all students.
