Our goal at Saint Agnes School is for each student is to build an appreciation of art, encourage confidence and creativity in producing art, and prepare students for high school art classes. We explore methods and materials, styles and periods of art and artists, architecture, portrait drawing, printmaking, clay, illustration, watercolor techniques and drawing skills.  In addition, we also familiarize our students with artists and art history.

Our students participate in several art contests throughout the year including  the Knights of Columbus "Keeping Christ in Christmas" poster contest; Bishop Shanahan's Art Contest; as well as the Philadelphia  Junior Flower Show.

The Music Curriculum of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia is designed to broaden a student’s general knowledge of basic musical skills and concepts at all levels of elementary education. Through participation in the music program, students are led in a deeper appreciation of liturgy, ethnic cultures, and musical styles. Music holds a prominent place in the spectrum of Arts and is of paramount importance in the development of the whole child.

Here at Saint Agnes School we offer music lessons in piano, guitar, and ukelele beginning in First Grade.  In addition, students in 4th Grade to 8th Grade may participate in our School Band.  

Each year, students from Saint Agnes School audition and are selected to participate in the Archdiocesan Festival and Honors Chorus as well as the Festival and Honors Bands.

Physical Education at St. Agnes includes the teaching of physical skills as well as social skills. Children of all grades should be able to listen and follow directions, develop honesty, cooperate with teammates and teacher, use equipment properly and safely, practice good sportsmanship, and have fun.

The Technology curriculum provides students with instruction in basic computer skills, Internet research and the ethical use of technology. Integrating technology throughout the curriculum enables the students to transfer concepts and skills learned in one area to another part of the curriculum. Emphasis is placed on engaged learning through a progression of skills to achieve higher order thinking skills and acquire twenty first century technological skills. Children in grades 1 to 8 receive their own chromebook while our students in PreK 3 to Kindergarten have access to Amazon Fire Tablets.  We also have several 3D printers on hand as well as Promethean Boards in every classroom!
