Fine ArtsResearch clearly indicates that exposure to
the arts increases the human brain’s ability to utilize both hemispheres creating
the opportunity for our students to maximize their learning potential.
Alix-MAC School is the ONLY school in Wolf Creek to offer a dedicated Fine Arts Program including a full band program from Grade 6 to 12 and a visual arts program from Grades 1 to 12.
These programs exist because of parental, community and administrative support.
