Performing Arts
Saint Andrew's believes that the arts are essential for a well-rounded education.
The performing arts not only provide opportunities for students to develop creative passions, but also teach communication, language, and leadership in unique ways that inspire individualism. At Saint Andrew's, opportunities to participate in the performing arts are incorporated into the regular class schedule, as well as a wide variety of after school programs.
Musical Ensembles
Saint Andrew’s has developed an award-winning Choral Program that is educationally rewarding, fundamentally sound, and musically exciting. Third through eighth grade students are welcomed and encouraged to participate in the choir programs as they learn about and experience the fundamental and advanced skills and craft of choral singing.
The Instrumental Music Program is available to students in Grades fifth through eighth who have an interest in furthering their ability at playing an instrument of their choice as they broaden their understanding of music as a whole and focus their energies into becoming proficient musicians.

Spring Musical
The Spring Musical welcomes students in third through eighth grade, offering a diverse experience for both dedicated aspiring performers and those seeking a fun adventure. Under the guidance of professionals, students will sing and dance to beloved songs from renowned Junior adaptations of popular productions.
The performance, held over three consecutive nights, allows students to showcase their talents to family and friends. Participation in this musical is entirely optional, presenting a fantastic opportunity for students to immerse themselves in the world of theater.
The Variety Show
The Variety Show is an annual talent show open to students in third through eighth grade to perform in front of the Saint Andrew's community. They can sing, dance, play an instrument, perform magic, do martial arts, gymnastics, read a poem, tell some jokes, or showcase whatever their special skill or talent may be!
Grade Level Plays
Students in pre-kindergarten through second grade create and present class musicals as part of the music curriculum. The third grade class is featured in the annual Chapel of Lessons & Carols, where they serve as readers and performers to share the Christmas Story.
