Performing Arts
Our performing arts program gives students a stage to grow in confidence, work as a team and use their gifts for God's glory. Students sing, play, act, dance and lead worship, from their first music class in elementary school to leading roles in our high school productions. Throughout the year, they perform in chapel, end-of-semester concerts, band festivals, two drama productions and a spring musical.
Elementary students explore music through Music class, and Elementary Choir offers more chances to sing and perform. More details about our elementary music program are coming soon!
Middle school is a great time to try something new. Students can explore band, theatre, musical theater, dance, and worship leadership, and every course ends with a chance to perform.
Music
Beginner Band (6th) · Students learn the basics of an instrument: proper technique, music reading, rhythm and tone. No experience needed.
Intermediate Band (7th–8th) · Students build on band fundamentals through rehearsals and performances, growing in technique, discipline and teamwork.
Praise Team (7th–8th) · For students who want to use their musical gifts to lead others in worship. Students develop vocal, instrumental and stage skills while studying the biblical foundation of worship.
Theatre & Dance
Theatre (7th–8th) · Improv, pantomime, acting and an introduction to tech roles. Each quarter ends with a one-act play performed in class for an audience of invited guests.
Musical Theatre (7th–8th) · Students rotate through dancing, singing and acting, then perform one or two songs at the end of the semester. It's a great way to sample every part of the performing arts.
Beginning Dance (7th–8th) · Students explore the basic principles of dance, with a focus on modern dance and its emphasis on expression and worship. No experience needed.
High school performers sharpen their craft through a full calendar of concerts and productions. Our choir, theatre and musical theatre classes each bring students of every level together in one group, with advanced instruction for experienced students. Along the way, they learn to look at the performing arts through a biblical worldview.
Music
High School Choir · One choir for singers at every level. Students learn two- to four-part singing and music reading and perform several times each semester, while experienced singers take on leadership, advanced technique and solo opportunities.
Concert Band · Two years of middle school band or audition Students perform concert band repertoire and study music theory and history. Each spring they perform at the ACSI Festival and can audition for NCBA All-District, All-State and Solo & Ensemble.

Theatre
Theatre · One class for actors at every level. Students build acting technique, stage presence and an understanding of theatre history, while advanced students take on Shakespeare, playwriting and student directing.
Musical Theatre · Jazz, tap, singing and acting in one class for performers at every level. Experienced students receive advanced instruction and prepare roles and solo work for our spring musical, which takes part in the Blumey Awards each year.
Technical Theatre & Management · Lights, sound, sets, props and costumes, and how every role works together to put on a show.
Introduction to Public Speaking · Speeches, interviews, testimonies and respectful, purposeful debate.
