Arts

Best of Lex

At Sayre, our arts program – which includes visual and performing arts – goes beyond simply teaching artistic skills. Taught by a cadre of accomplished artists, our arts classes and extracurricular activities set students up to thrive in whatever career paths they pursue.

Immersive learning

We provide ample opportunities to create, perform, respond to art, and connect with the artistic community on a vibrant urban campus. These hands-on experiences foster a deep understanding that transcends theory.

Shaping young minds

Through experiential learning, students gain a contextual understanding of art history and diversity. These lessons broaden their perspectives, allowing them to see how art reflects and shapes the world around them, enriching their present experiences.

Building a foundation for the future

Our comprehensive arts program prepares Sayre students to excel on our school campus and beyond. As evidenced by the achievements of Evelyn Patches (2024 program), Mia Risco (2024 program), and Dan Calzini (2023 program), Sayre students are consistently accepted into prestigious programs such as the Governor's School for the Arts. This competitive program is a testament to the strong foundation Sayre provides, allowing our students to thrive among the most talented young artists in the state.

Making their mark through arts programs

By fostering a love for the arts and an understanding of their context, we equip our students with the tools and confidence to become lifelong learners and creative thinkers, poised to make their mark on the world.
