Arts Requirement
Devise a Program
Tabor’s graduation requirement in the fine and performing arts may be fulfilled through a combination of courses during the academic day, certain afternoon/co-curricular programs, and certain extracurricular activities. One Arts unit corresponds to one trimester of arts-related activity or class. Arts credits do not transfer from other institutions; however, the number of trimesters of required arts is prorated for students who enter Tabor after the 9th grade.
The total number of Art Units required for graduation is as follows:
- For students who enter in 9th grade: 6 trimesters/units
- For students who enter in 10th grade: 4 trimesters/units
- For students who enter in 11th grade: 2 trimesters/units
Students (with the help of advisors) can devise a program that best suits their needs according to their interests, selecting from the wide range of offerings as described below.
All courses offered in the Visual Arts, Music and Theater Arts departments earn one arts unit per trimester.
