Visual and Performing Arts

The arts play an essential role at St. Timothy’s. We encourage both creativity and skill development through a comprehensive arts curriculum. Our staff works to cultivate an understanding and love of music, theater, and visual art through a positive environment that facilitates the creative process. Performing and visual arts disciplines span our students’ experience from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, with opportunities for them to share their art with our community during seasonal concerts, on the stage, and in the art gallery.
Throughout the year, lower school students have opportunities to perform. Pre-kindergarten through second grade participate in the Pumpkin Parade in the fall. First through fourth grades participate in our beloved annual Christmas Pageant, and kindergartners perform in the Hat Parade in the spring. We believe keeping these traditions gives our students and families exciting events to look forward to each year.
Middle School Chorus is an optional year-long program for fifth through eighth grades. Practice is twice a week, with additional after-school rehearsals around performances, which include a Christmas tour throughout Raleigh, performances at venues such as the Governor’s Mansion and the Capitol Rotunda, and the St. Timothy’s Band and Chorus Christmas Concert. The annual trip to the Kings Dominion Festival of Music, held in late spring, is another annual highlight.
