的 艺术与文化 Signature Program emphasizes a globally-minded approach to the creative process that honors the complexity 和 diversity of our students’ everyday experiences. We embrace the arts as a unique access point for a broader exploration of the role that culture plays in our lives 和 in the world, 同时也是一个帮助我们跨越语言障碍进行交流的机会, 政治, 以及不同的学习方式. 我们推崇个人能动性, 协作, 调查, 和反思作为建设性和转型全球的必要组成部分, 社会, 以及存在的变化.

 

学生在各个层次的经验, 从初学者到高级从业者, have the opportunity to contribute to campus performances 和 exhibitions through participation in dance, 音乐, 剧院, 文学艺术, 视觉艺术, 以及媒体艺术. 我们优秀的艺术教师由世界一流的专业人士组成, 他们都在各自的领域做出积极贡献. 的se instructors are dedicated to helping students refine their unique interests while also encouraging them to explore new genres 和 practices 和 to make connections across subject areas.
 
While the IB Arts classes require a rigorous 和 daily academic commitment to a specific arts area, these classes are supported 和 enhanced by our performance-based Experiential Education (ExEd) offerings. Students may participate in 艺术与文化 courses 和 workshops as their interest 和 time allows, 不管他们选择的是什么IB科目. 的 ExEd 程序 also creates space for students to participate in more than one arts area if they wish. 对艺术领导力感兴趣的学生参加每周一次的领导力研讨会, 他们讨论哲学和艺术实践, with applications in policy 和 advocacy that inform our work within the context of the broader UWC mission. 学生领导是我们课程的一个组成部分, 它是我们许多社区文化活动背后的推动力.
