Fine Arts

The  Fine Arts Department is designed to enrich each student in their daily lives. Weekly Art and Music classes offer freedom to explore the arts with a variety of mediums. Whether trying a new instrument, designing an Impressionist style painting, composing music and choreographing a dance, or building a houseboat that floats, students are encouraged to express themselves creatively.

St. Max School offers many in-school and after-school opportunities for students to further their interest in the arts.

Drama: St. Max offers students the opportunity to participate in school shows. The entire student body participates in the annual Christmas Show. The 8th grade students have acting parts and students in grades K-7 sing a class song. The Pre-K students put on their own Christmas Show. Parents are invited to attend all shows.

St. Max also showcases an annual Spring Musical. Auditions are held for students in grades 7 and 8. The choir also performs during the show. In the past St. Max has presented Frozen Jr., Beauty and The Beast Jr., The Little Mermaid Jr., and The Wizard of Oz. 

Putting on the Hits: This is another opportunity for students in grades 6-8 to perform on stage. This is an event where students work together to lip-sync their favorite songs. 

Choir: Directed by Harry Solomon, our Music Teacher. The choir participates in many events throughout the year including Sunday Liturgies, Kolbe Christmas, and the School Musical. The school choir is open to all students in grades 2-8.

Band: Our Beginning and Advanced Band program is run by the Northeastern Music Program. Students in grades 4-8 may participate in the band. Lessons are given weekly. Concerts are performed in the winter and the spring to showcase the children's talents. Advanced students are invited to try out for the Archdiocesan Honors Band and participate in city-wide concerts.
