Arts
The arts are an essential part of a Saint Constantine education.
Music, Theater, and Visual Art are highly valued at The Saint Constantine School. We believe that there is nothing 'extra'-curricular about them - rather, earnest and consistent time spent in artistic pursuit is deeply tied to our ability to flourish as human beings.
Our intracurricular model and block schedule allow students to participate in a variety of artistic programs during the course of their school day. Whether in a classroom setting or through private tutoring, these vital opportunities teach students to engage with powerful ideas through artistic expression, and hone their technical skills under the direction of highly qualified and experienced professionals.
Houston is a city rich in the arts, and our students are given opportunities to experience what the city has to offer through trips to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston Grand Opera, The Alley Theater, The Houston Symphony, and much more. We prioritize that our students understand and participate in our faith’s rich tradition of art and music as a part of the great conversation of western culture and the global church.

"Practice any art - music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage - no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what's inside you, to make your soul grow."
- Kurt Vonnegut
