In Media Arts, students learn the basics of each type of media: print, video and photography and the software that produces it. Students then use their knowledge to produce projects that both inform and entertain. There are currently 10 1 credit CTS courses available in Media Arts. 

Both Media Arts and Design Studies are offered in a block of time where several other courses are being offered, therefore successful students need to be self directed and able to follow instructions and work independently with support from the teacher. 

In Design Studies, students learn about the different areas of design – architecture, interior,
industrial and landscape and the basic skills involved in designing. There are currently 3
– 5 credit courses available in Design Studies - introductory (Design 10) , intermediate (Design 20) and advanced (Design 30).
