Arts


Explore & Express Your Creativity at Every Level

Canterbury supports all of our student artists, from those just beginning to Sixth Formers preparing college portfolios.

Getting involved with the arts at Canterbury presents you with many possibilities. It is a chance to create something—whether bringing an image to life on canvas or a character to life on stage. It is also an opportunity to acquire something—new skills, new tools for creative problem-solving, and new opportunities to explore your creative side.
