WHY THE ARTS MATTER
As a school committed to inspiring and empowering young women of Chicago, Josephinum Academy wholeheartedly supports arts education. Over the last few years, The Jo has made significant strides toward developing a strong and comprehensive Visual and Performing Arts program led by two professional artists.
Although many schools and districts have cut arts funding, we continue to allocate our energy and resources to this program because we believe that arts education reinforces the skills and characteristics we desire for our students.

HER VOICE MATTERS
The arts give her a platform to be heard.
Most importantly, our arts program gives students the opportunity to be heard—a platform from which to share their voices. This may be one of the most important gifts we can give a young woman.
From drawing and painting to acting, writing, singing, learning a musical instrument, and more, our Visual and Performing Arts Program and extracurricular clubs let students tap into their creative side. Wherever an artistic spirit leads, we encourage our Jo girls to follow.
