At ISA, we believe that artistic expression is essential to both life and learning. Through our comprehensive Art & Music programs, students from Early Learning Center (ELC) through Grade 12 can explore and develop their own unique voices in the arts. Whether through painting, sculpture, music performance, or digital media, our students are encouraged to express themselves, think creatively, and build the technical skills that will serve them throughout their lives.
Visual Arts
Artistic creativity is a powerful tool for personal growth, learning, and communication. Our Visual Arts program empowers students to develop their creative abilities and find their personal artistic voices. From ELC to Grade 12, all students have access to a wide range of artistic experiences, with opportunities to work in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional media.
Key Program Highlights
- A dedicated art room equipped with a kiln.
- Hands-on experience with diverse materials and techniques including drawing, painting, modeling, and textiles.
- Technology integration to enhance artistic projects and media studies.
- Regular field trips to local art galleries and cultural events.

Our curriculum is designed to cultivate creative thinking, technical skills, and an appreciation for the visual arts from all cultures and historical contexts. By experimenting, taking risks, and observing the world around them, students develop the ability to communicate their ideas and emotions through art. Visual Arts is also offered as an IB Diploma subject, providing a rigorous academic pathway for those with a deep interest in the arts.
