Thrive in Your Passion
The Visual and Performing Arts at Woodlands are a vital part of our Sacred Heart tradition. Our primary goal is to foster creative intellect and passion for the arts within our creative young women.
Freshmen are required to take a Freshman Fine Arts class, and all students must complete a total of two credits of Fine Arts to graduate. Our curriculum includes courses in vocal and instrumental music, drawing, painting, ceramics, and photography, and ranges from introductory classes to Advanced Placement and independent studies.
Students are encouraged to audition for Woodland's extracurricular choral groups and our theater productions. Our students participate in music and visual art competitions, and are encouraged to submit their work to local juried visual art exhibitions. Our Fine Arts program also offers opportunities for exceptionally talented students to participate in state and national competitions.

The Arts at Woodlands
Jamie Tuttle Women in the Arts Program
The Women in the Arts event has been a Woodlands Academy tradition since 2005.
In 2021, this annual celebration of female artists was named in memory of Jamie Tuttle, a vital member of the school’s arts faculty for three decades who inspired generations of Woodlands students with her dedication to the arts.
In 2022, Woodlands Academy installed a permanent display of Tuttle's photography in the school's front hallway in her honor.
Fine Arts Evening
Fine Arts Evening is Woodlands' annual exhibition of student drawings, paintings, ceramics and photography – along with performances by the Woodlands choirs and orchestra.
This celebration of the arts takes place each spring and is free of charge.
