Middle School Fine Arts

 

To further enrich the educational program at Grace Christian Academy, our Middle School students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities in the Fine Arts Program.

Art

Art is offered as an elective class for Middle School students.  Students use a variety of mediums and have the opportunity to create unique projects during the year. Artwork from each student is showcased during the annual "Night of the Arts" event held each spring.  This event gives GCA students the opportunity to celebrate their God-given gifts in the areas of art, photography, drama, and music.

Band

An instrumental band program is offered to fifth through eighth grade students.  Band students meet daily as they learn to read music and begin mastery of their instrument.  The band performs in two concerts during the school year to showcase their development and musical accomplishments.

Choir

Choir is another elective option for Middle School Students.  As choir students progress through the semester, they learn proper vocalization techniques and gain skill singing individually and in a choral group.  A significant purpose of the music program at GCA is that students will experience a deeper level of worship and resulting growth in their relationship with God. The choral groups perform in a winter and spring concert each year.

Drama

There are several options available to students within our Drama Department, depending on experience, interest, and ability. The Middle School choir presented their inaugural play, "Christmas, Country Style", this year.
