Access to the Arts at the High School Level 9-12
Visual and performing arts are offered as electives at all St. Johns County School District high schools. Courses offerings may include visual arts, chorus, instrumental music/band, drama and dance; however, not all courses are taught at all schools. Students who are interested in pursuing an arts Program of Study can apply to the St. Johns County Center for the Arts (SJCCA) at St. Augustine High School. SJCCA offers Chorus, Musical Theater, Drama, Dance, Guitar, Piano, Marching, Jazz, and Concert Bands, 2-D, 3-D, and Digital/Computer Art. Dance is also taught at Bartram Trail HS. AP Art History is available at some schools. Students who are not zoned for St. Augustine High School must apply annually for an Out of Zone waiver to attend SJCCA at SAHS.
Students in the performing and visual arts programs participate in many community events, including local and regional fairs and festivals, competitions, and showcase performances. The St. Augustine Art Association hosts an annual All-County High School Art Show each March, featuring outstanding visual art. Schools participate in an annual visual and performing arts showcase called Arts Alive, sponsored by the St. Johns County Education Foundation as a fundraiser for the arts. It is a K-12 auditioned showcase for all the arts and music programs in the school district with a visual art show and featured performances.
Applications for SJCCA is available to rising 9th and 10th grade students. Information on and applications for SJCCA will be available on the St. Augustine High School website at the beginning of the Spring semester 2013.
