Fine Arts Houston School
The Banff Difference includes daily Fine Arts curriculum at all grade levels; both as standalone classes as well as curriculum integration for core academic courses.
We believe that the inclusion of arts in a student's education is an integral part to the success of the student both academically, creatively, and in our ever-changing world. This commitment to the arts at Banff is one of our unique characteristics that sets us apart from other schools! As we strive to fulfill our mission to "Educate the Whole Child", we continue to improve and evolve our Fine Arts program, adding components and opportunities each year to match our students' needs and thirst for the arts. From Performing Arts courses that culminate in full-scale musicals and plays on our well-equipped stage, to intensive Visual Arts courses that not only teach technique in varied mediums but also appreciation, history, and cultural impact.
