The Bedford Academy Fine Arts program focuses on several creative avenues. The Senior Band provides students with an introduction to a wide range of classical and contemporary music with performances in the famed Kiwanis Festival of Music as well as a full slate of local concert events. The younger students are invited to join our recorder group to prepare them for entry into the Band. Private voice, guitar and piano lessons are offered to all Academy students upon request through professionally trained instructors.

Artistic expression through a variety of mediums is a core aspect of the Academy's Creative Development program. The students receive weekly Art classes taught by university certified teachers. The annual Art Gala features student's reproductions of local artists who actually come into the school to teach the children the fundamental skills of their craft.

Drama is a cornerstone within the Academy Fine Arts program. All elementary grades participate in a Shakespearian production each year. This exposure to the classics at such a young age has drawn considerable parental praise.

The Academy's renowned French Department hosts a much anticipated French Café as part of its curriculum during the spring with a dinner theater atmosphere. The students serve a selection of French delicacies to their parents while conversing in French then provide entertainment for their guests through cultural dance and song.
