We are a small fine arts "magnet" school for the Langley School District. Langley Fine Arts School had our first graduating class in 1994. Our graduates currently attend universities, colleges, schools of Music, Art, Design, Theatre, Literary Arts and Dance, and technical schools all over North America. They have gone on to study and work in the Sciences, the Liberal and Fine Arts, the Social Sciences and a broad variety of other fields.

We have 403 Secondary students and 395 Elementary students in Grades 1-12 at Langley Fine Arts School. Parents and students chose the school due to its reputation and its focus on the arts and the academics. Subjects such as mechanics, cooking, computer drafting, etc., are not offered at the school. We simply focus upon the academics and the arts, believing that this provides our students with a great richness of educational experience.

In all grades of the school, we have visiting artists, field trips, fairs and multi-subject projects. These give our students different opportunities to learn, to explore the world, to be creative and express their learning in diverse ways. Academic teachers frequently use fine arts strategies and activities in the study of English, Science, Social Studies, etc. Excellence of group and individual pursuits is a key value in our school. At the school we learn to learn together - we learn to think critically, to express ourselves effectively and creatively. Students and their friends watch their own talents, skills and knowledge developing over time through practice.

Creativity, quality and innovation are celebrated and the academic atmosphere at the school is stimulating. LFAS students appreciate and understand the value of a disciplined approach to learning. Academic courses are five months long, and involve 90 hours of classroom interaction. Studying academic courses at a fast, semester pace, students learn to focus their efforts, and to manage their time very well. Langley Fine Arts students meet the key learning outcomes outlined by the British Columbia Ministry of Education, and they do this in less classroom time than do other students in British Columbia. Our students perform exceptionally well on Provincial learning assessments and Grade 10, 11 and 12 examinations. In their final years of Secondary school, LFAS students earn many scholarships that open doors to exciting educational opportunities beyond high school.

We invite you to attend an Information Session and see our program in action.
