Arts

Arts education is an essential part of a balanced educational program. BHNCDSB Arts programs are recognized in our communities for our commitment to supporting student success and wellbeing through the variety of art learning opportunities.

Whether it’s through Visual Arts, Music, Drama or Dance; our students learn a range of art techniques and practices that make them better equipped to succeed in their post-secondary lives.
