The Way of Beauty curriculum at Saint Stephen is a core k-8 sequence of workshops and studios wherein students learn to discover beauty and create it through handiwork and the fine arts. This sequence is integrated with our liberal arts curriculum in such a way that the student grows in the image of God by crafting his or her own life to be beautiful in response to the beauty encountered in the created world and expressed in the student’s own creative work. This creativity is a gift to be put at the service of others.
Through his artistic creativity man appears more than ever in the Image of God, and he accomplishes this task above all in shaping the wondrous material of his own humanity and then exercising creative dominion of the universe which surrounds him.
-Pope Saint John Paul II, Letter to Artists
