Our primary focus is to ensure that each child has a strong foundation in the basic skills, but we also offer a variety of co-curricular courses such as:
Drama
All students at Wellington Hall Academy participate in our two full length drama productions each school year. We have featured such productions as the Wizard of Oz, Annie, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and The Christmas Carol. The drama productions integrate many aspects our program including music (singing), art (set design), technology (light & sound) and physical education (movement & dance).

All students are members of the Wellington Hall Choir. We encourage the enjoyment of vocal expression through singing. Many of pieces learned are presented at the Christmas Concert, Awards and Graduation Ceremony or in the Drama productions.
Students from Grades 3 to 8 study Music Theory through the playing of a wind instrument. Students have an opportunity to perform in ensemble and sole performances.
