Eastdale School of the Arts

The Eastdale School of the Arts provides students with the opportunity to explore the arts. By enrolling in this this program, students will be able to register for two credits in the Arts in grade 9.

In grade 9, students can choose from Instrumental Music, Vocal Music, Visual Arts, Drama and Dance. As their skills and abilities improve in each area, they can continue exploring each area of the Arts in more depth in grade 10, 11 and 12. This pathway provides the opportunity for students to get involved and expand their creativity.

Students that are members of the Eastdale School of the Arts, who successfully complete 8 credits in the Arts will receive an additional certificate from the Eastdale School of the Arts upon graduation. As well, students will receive an Arts Certificate, from the DDSB, for those students who complete 6 Arts credits over the course of their high school career.

Students are not limited to taking 8 credits in the Arts. Many students discover that there are many avenues in the Arts to explore, and our program allows them the flexibility to do so. For example, a grade 9 student who enrolls in Vocal-Music and Drama, may decide to also enroll in a Musical Theatre course where they can be part of a the Eastdale Theatre Company and experience acting and singing at the same time.
