Our program is an innovative and practically feasible structure, designed to provide families with quality, affordable, lessons with as minimal impact on the family schedule as possible, integrating community and fellowship with like-minded families.
We meet once per week and cover multiple performing arts lessons over a 3-4 hour period. Our program is designed around traditional Fall and Spring semesters, with optional summer intensives to hone specific skills.
- God-centered in principle
As with everything else that God created, the arts come from Him and are meant to reveal and glorify Him. Every class in our program is specifically designed with an emphasis on telling the beautiful, universal story of the human experience. Much of contemporary art is focused on personal expression and subjective experience; while those are certainly aspects of our lives, they are not an end in themselves, but merely a tool that should be pointed up and filtered through the context of God's greater story of revealing His glory through all the ages. - Humanities and Liberal Arts in method
Our classes are holistic in nature. They are focused on addressing both the body and soul of students- cultivating mental and spiritual development alongside technique, rather than on technical skill alone. - Classical in content
Our curriculum focuses on the best works and methods from all of human history. Students will learn not only how to study a subject, but also why, and how it is has been done well in the past. They will explore a sampling of the best and brightest minds from all of time. - Quality
We aim to provide curriculum that is excellent and praise-worthy in both content and instruction. We aim to teach content that is full of goodness, beauty and truth. We aim to honor all students and treat them with honor and dignity as image-bearers of God. - Family-centered structure
Our program is built for the whole family! During program days, parent(s) are always on campus with their child(ren), and contribute wherever there is interest and/or talent. We aim to be as co-operative as possible!
