We offer a wide variety of Art programs for students at All Saints Catholic Secondary School. We are a dual track system, which means the existing comprehensive Grade 9 to 12 program continues to run for students who live within the All Saints Catholic Secondary School boundary.
We are home to the Regional Arts & Media Program and serve students in Grades 7 to 12 across Durham Region. You can audition to begin in Grade 7 and/or Grade 9.
Throughout the school year, Arts students from both streams have an opportunity to perform and showcase their work.
