Experiencing The Transformative Power Of The Arts
Since its inception, Worcester Academy has fostered young artists with the knowledge that a rich and holistic educational experience starts with a profound engagement with the arts.
Through an array of artistic opportunities, Worcester students learn to see, engage with, and respond to the world around them through the lens of creativity. As they practice taking artistic risks in a multitude of mediums, our students develop vital problem-solving skills, discover self expression, and become well-rounded individuals.
Learning is holistic, hands-on and multidisciplinary, helping students put concepts into practice, and make real-world connections about how art shapes our perspectives.

Arts Facilities
The Worcester Academy hallways are alive with the hum of artistic discovery, where budding sculptors, singers, actors, designers, and musicians find a creative home to express their unique voice and style.
Beyond The Classroom
After-school clubs, special events, and seasonal programs offer student artists time to hone their craft, discover new talents, and develop passion projects. Visual artists can explore a personal oil painting project in Open Studio, aspiring actors and designers can join a production, vocalists can expand their range with the Academy Singers, and musicians can practice and perform with the Instrumental Ensemble Club. From showcasing art on-campus and local museums to performing on stage, every student finds their forum to shine.
