Fine Arts Center

Canterbury School's new 18,000-square-foot Fine Arts Center is the hub for our Academy of the Arts program which was launched in 2020 with the promise to strengthen a founding pillar of Canterbury School: a robust and dynamic education in the arts.

The building brings both the visual and performing arts to life, while also enhancing opportunities to build community. The Canterbury Fine Arts Center features an art gallery, black box theater, recording studio and podcasting center, 2D and 3D visual art classrooms, a digital photography lab, and classrooms for band, choir, and orchestra, in addition to performance and reception spaces.
