School Description

In addition to traditional core courses, Penn-Griffin School for the Arts offers elective classes in eight different arts disciplines: orchestra, band, chorus, classical guitar, piano, dance, theatre, and visual arts.  Unique to Penn-Griffin is the opportunity for students to journey through the arts in one school from sixth through twelfth grade.  The arts program is designed to allow students to explore multiple arts areas in sixth grade and then choose an area as their arts concentration in seventh and eighth grade.  Upon entering the high school grades, students must audition in their arts concentration.  The high school students continue formal study in their art in a supportive environment with other students who share their passion and love for the arts.
