Music Program
Music Program
We believe The Arts are a major component of a well-rounded education. Over two-thirds of our student body are involved in Music at Hephatha! We arrange our before, during, and after school schedules to ensure students have the space to participate in simultaneous extra-curricular and co-curricular activities. During their time at Hephatha, students have the opportunity discover who they are and what drives them, so that they have a healthy focus when they graduate! Involvement in Athletics, Music, Academies and Fine Arts are great opportunities for our students do just that.
At the beginning of each school year, our students attend a Music assembly, where they enjoy an introductory concert to the many instruments we offer. Watch our piece titled Arts for Achievement to see how vocal and instrumental music are integrated in to our curriculum!
