Arts

Music

The music program at Walsh/STCS synthesizes the International Baccalaureate (IB) MYP and the National Standards for Music Education frameworks. Walsh/STCS develops musical literacy through daily reading, rehearsing, and composing and broadens student’s ability to respond to different genres of music.

Our students experience music as a mechanism of culture by incorporating various examples of music from around the world. Choral and instrumental performances are built into the school calendar.

At an individual performer level, Walsh/STCS belongs to the Cattaraugus County Music Teachers Association, and Walsh/STCS students represent the school each year in county and state-level honors ensembles.

Visual Arts

Visual Arts at Walsh/STCS harmonizes the MYP and IB DP frameworks. It is a foundational course for students to gain a broad general background in the visual art experiences. The focus is on understanding, knowledge, appreciation and application of the fundamental visual art principles and elements.

Walsh students enter the IB MYP visual arts curriculum and transition into the DP visual arts program, culminating with a full visual portfolio and senior art project exhibition.
