Academic Excellence in the Fine Arts
We are striving for Excellence in the Fine Arts! This year had many firsts, and many achievements. One of my goals as a teacher is to teach them everything I can while in school, but also to send them out to experience what happens with other students in the area, and under new conductors. We experienced many of these opportunities throughout our fine arts department.
Measuring Excellence in Visual Art
Academic excellence in the visual arts is measured by the personal growth that emerges through ongoing effort, creative exploration, and the continual pursuit of the beauty, design, and intentionality in what God declared as very good. (Genesis 1:21)
A Look at our Resource Program
Developing Christlike character and academic excellence requires both high expectations and high support for students. Having high expectations but low support can cause frustration, discouragement, and failure. Having high support but low expectations can cause apathy, dependence, and underperformance. We designed our resource program to work alongside teachers and parents in providing that high support to our students.
