THE ARTS

     Music, visual and performing arts play an important role in the education and formation of the young men at St. Gregory’s Academy. Music is given its due as a profound means to form character and delight the soul. Folk music exposes students to a wide variety of story-telling songs while Gregorian chant introduces the boys to one of the most beautiful and ancient expressions of worship in the Catholic Faith.      The students are encouraged to appreciate the visual arts through such treasures as can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery, and a wide variety of other museums and cultural exhibitions in the area. Performing arts include juggling, skits, and an annual play written and directed by our drama teacher, Sean Fitzpatrick. These performances are shared with family, friends, alumni, and the local community.
