Through diverse courses, Graded offers students the opportunity to explore a variety of media, including drawing, painting, printmaking, mixed media, ceramics, sculpture, digital art, and photography. Projects are designed to foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills and introduce the history of art. The goal of Graded's Visual Arts program is to inspire confidence in students to create and express themselves through art.

Film is a powerful communications medium. The film courses at Graded are designed to provide students with a highly collaborative and hands-on environment that harnesses the imagination and encourages the development of authentic points of view, passion for research and critique, curiosity to experiment, and creativity to apply different techniques. Students study film language and production skills such as writing, directing, editing, sound design, and cinematography.

At Graded, theater empowers students to find their voices by telling their own stories and those of others. Through exploration, experimentation, research, and reflection, practical theater courses challenge students to develop their imaginations and technical skills while deepening their understanding of the art form. Students in the lower, middle, and high schools have the opportunity to perform and work behind the scenes in school musicals and plays.

Courses such as choir, orchestra, band, and guitar allow students at Graded to develop and enhance their musical skills. Students engage in music theory and analysis, historical context, music reading, playing fundamentals and techniques, proper posture, and concert performances.
