Our Performing Arts Program offers middle school students a dynamic and enriching experience where creativity, discipline, and faith come together. Students receive hands-on training in acting, movement, voice, stage presence, while developing confidence, collaboration skills, and a strong work ethic.
We provide meaningful opportunities for students to perform on stage throughout the year, allowing them to grow as artists and storytellers. Students may qualify to be inducted into the International Thespian Honor Society, recognizing their dedication, leadership, and achievement in theatre arts.
Our program proudly participates in District 4 Thespian competitions, where students prepare to present monologues, duet scenes, solo musicals, costume design, etc. This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase their talents while competing against other schools. In addition, students benefit from theatre workshops and educational field trips that expose them to live performances and industry professionals.
St. Thomas the Apostle commitment to excellence is reflected in the success of our students. Many have been accepted into prestigious performing arts schools such as New World School of the Arts, Miami Arts Studio, and other competitive arts programs.
At the heart of everything we do is our faith. We strive to ensure that Christ is at the center while using the performing arts to glorify God and serve the community. Each year, students participate in a beautiful Nativity and Easter Passion Play, it is a cherished tradition that brings our school community together in reflection and celebration.
Through performance, training, and faith-filled mentorship, our Performing Arts Program nurtures students to grow not only as performers, but as confident, compassionate individuals ready to shine on and off the stage.
