We specialize in creating a dynamic learning environment for contemporary art. Our studio classes in dance, film, music, theatre and visual art are taught by practicing artists, while our scholars engage students with the historical, philosophical, and political contexts of the arts. Explorations develops lifelong skills, such as teamwork, research, critical and creative thinking as well as effective communication. Our goal is to equip students with the skills, the discipline, the flexibility, the creativity, the understanding and the acumen to excel in the arts in Canada and around the world.
