Arts Courses

Arts programming is a key part of education at Mercersburg. All students take two terms (credits) of art, music, or theatre in the 10th-grade year. Many students take additional courses in subsequent years, and perform in related groups. Credit is given for Chorale, Band, and other performing groups: one full credit is earned for a full year’s membership (three terms) in a performing group.

For more information about Mercersburg’s arts curriculum, check out our Department of Fine Arts.
