Physical Education:
Physical Education is a time for students to learn about how to care for and control the bodies God has blessed them with. The P.E. classroom uniquely allows students to demonstrate the fruits of the spirit while students participate in team and individual activities.

Music:
Students receive instruction in elements of music theory appropriate to their grade level such as rhythm, pitch, values of notes, the pentatonic scale, meter, solfege, note reading, treble/bass clef, the orchestra, and the role of music in ballets, plays, and operas.
*1st-2nd
Students learn foundational basics of music theory, including beat, rhythm, pitch, tempo, dynamics, and note reading. Students also learn to play basic melodies on the recorder.
*3rd-5th
Students learn to play orchestral string instruments (violin, viola, cello) and perform two concerts every school year. Students also continue to learn basic principles of music theory, such as note reading, clefs, rhythm patterns, pitch, intonation, and key signatures. Students learn to play music in a group setting that reinforces all aspects of team work.
*6th
Students take a more detailed look at music theory and use skills to read notes (treble and bass clef), build melodies, identify key signatures, and clap more difficult rhythm patterns. Students also receive instruction in music history, beginning in the medieval period and ending in the 20th century. Topics include stylistic differences, the role of sacred music in society, instruments used, and identifiable features of each time period.

Offers an after school ensemble program.

Second Language:
“God delights in diversity. Learning another language allows us to better appreciate and honor the beauty of cultures He created. It expands horizons, develops a love for language at a young age, and allows us to become better readers, and writers.”

Art:
Our art program introduces students to a wide range of artistic styles, techniques, and cultural influences while building strong foundational skills. Students explore three-dimensional design through sculpture, while developing drawing skills in units like proportion & structure, facial features, and animal through the use of a variety of mediums. They expand their creativity through abstract art and study artistic movements such as impressionism, learning how artists use color and light to create mood. Students also create meaningful works in landscape portraits and explore global perspectives through different cultures’ art.
