The Bethlehem Art Program is based on the concept that art is a significant part of a student's life and an important segment of the high school structure. Art serves as a tool for building self-confidence through personal expression and communication. It enriches the present and future lives of those young people who experience it. In essence, it becomes a catalyst for preparing young professionals and/or appreciation of the arts through lifelong learning.
