Encouraging our Trojans to express themselves creatively

For Lincoln School, art and culture are of utmost importance, which is why there is a consolidated Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) program as part of the comprehensive education that our students receive at all levels. We have had an Arts Center since 2013 with first class facilities and classrooms and a theater with capacity for 296 people with state-of-the-art equipment to support the various artistic and cultural activities.

Currently the VPA program has theater, plastic arts and music classes, developing activities such as plays, musicals, concerts, painting exhibitions, etc. We have a chamber orchestra (strings) and a symphonic band in both Middle School and High School, which together form a large symphonic orchestra and recently created Lincoln Big Band.

In addition to engaging our students with the arts through our academic arts program, the Visual and Performing Arts Department seeks to promote and disseminate culture and the arts both within and outside of our community, linking our arts community with national and international arts education institutions as part of an innovative model.

Our goal is to position Lincoln School as the leading educational institution in Costa Rica in the development, promotion and dissemination of culture and arts as part of a holistic and innovative educational program.

"After completing their studies at Lincoln School, graduates will have significant experience in both visual and performing arts and will be specialized in one of the many elective options in the different courses of visual arts, theater, guitar, strings, brass, woodwinds or percussion. Students can also opt to pursue the IB diploma in arts (visual arts), theater or music, profiling to the corresponding higher education option."
