The Arts
The Place for Arts in the Classical Education
“An education which includes the Arts does help to form a well-rounded individual; however, there are much more compelling reasons to teach art, music, drama, creative writing, etc. Understanding Art, philosophy and how Art reflects philosophy will enable a greater comprehension of present-day life and culture as well as the past. Understanding the criteria for evaluating the elements which comprise good Art will access realms of God-given creativity for study and appreciation. Teaching a child the needed skills to create in a specific medium will afford the opportunity to reflect God’s creativity. These higher aims have a greater value than merely offering a vague enrichment.” Excerpt taken from “The Place of the Arts in Classical Education” by Gregory Wilbur
Our Mission
Founded in 1926 and deeply rooted in Carmelite spirituality and Roman Catholic Tradition, Saint Therese Carmelite School, united with parents who are the primary educators of their children, seeks to form students in faith, academics, and virtue through a Classical education. Learn more.
We are also the only school in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles to offer the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.
But our school can't survive without your help. If we raised tuition to fully cover our expenses, the families who need us the most would be forced to leave our community.
