Our comprehensive Arts and Music programs are designed to cultivate discipline, technical proficiency, and profound creativity. We require the same rigorous Above & Beyond standard in our studios and stages as we do in our classrooms. By stewarding their God-given talents, students learn the endurance and focus required to master their respective disciplines.



We offer a progressive suite of courses ranging from foundational drawing and painting to advanced ceramics, digital photography, graphic design, and Studio Art.
Participation: Art integration begins in the Lower School and expands into specialized elective tracks for Middle and High School students.
Showcases & Experiences: Students regularly participate in regional art competitions, collegiate portfolio reviews, and curated campus gallery exhibitions.
Our comprehensive ensembles include Concert Band, Orchestra, and advanced Choral groups.
Participation: Foundational music education is required in the Lower School. As students advance into Middle and High School, they can audition for premier ensembles.
Performances: These groups formally represent the academy at state-level adjudications, seasonal campus concerts, and community civic events.




We treat our theater program not simply as a club, but as a rigorous, elevated production company that demands professionalism, deep script analysis, and exceptional performance execution.
