St. Anne School offers a diverse curriculum in music and drama throughout the school aimed at creating musical and dramatic fluency and literacy in all students and advanced studies for students with special interest and drive in music or theater. We believe in the arts as community service and provide multiple opportunities for students to experience the arts as a bridge to other communities and as an essential feature of nourishing our own community. In 2016, SAS instituted a resident artist program so that in addition to our current faculty, students have the opportunity to work with area artists and scholars.
Current and past resident artists have included:
Professor Amy Morris
Voice, Winthrop University/Opera Carolina
Dr. Andrew Vorder Breugge
Fight Choreography, Assistant Dean CVP Winthrop
