Art
St. Hubert offers a well-rounded, four-year Art Program that arms students with a strong body of work upon completion of the program . Students in this program have been featured in special exhibits, news releases, won several major awards in various competitions and juried exhibits, and have received numerous scholarships to various art schools.
 
Art courses are offered to students who desire to develop their artistic skills. A wide variety of experiences is provided throughout the different levels. Drawing, color theory, design principles, painting, ceramics, basic photography, and computer graphics are the major areas of study. An understanding of the basics through progressive lessons prepares the student to meet new challenges on her own. A half-credit for Related Arts is preferred before entering the art courses. However, it is not mandatory. All art students are required to participate in the annual Art Exhibit in May. A materials fee is charged for each art course.

The courses also provide students with an in-depth study of the fundamental elements of design and of man-made and synthetic fibers to help students purchase fabric and ready-made clothing.
 
Music
St. Hubert's Music Program includes one of the few remaining symphonic orchestra's in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, and both an active and performing chorus and handbell choir.
