Arts

“…the arts are a glorious gift from God; and in the process of creation lies the joy of God’s creative heartbeat.”

- Mako Fujimura

Dear Friends of the Arts,
The vision of Fine Arts at Prince Avenue Christian School is to release the creativity within each student, and to use that creativity to glorify God. Our goal is to provide the fine arts staff and volunteers with the necessary equipment and resources to achieve this God-inspired vision. The arts foster critical thinking and stimulate imagination while addressing different learning styles- visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Students are exposed to other languages and cultures both past and present. All fine arts activities and programs enrich the educational, spiritual, and cultural lives of our students as well as increase the sense of community and teamwork.

We invite each of you to share the vision and become involved in the arts.

To God Alone Be the Glory,
LaMurl Morris
Director of Fine Arts

The Middle School Band has performed in chapel and at football games. Upper School music includes High School Chorus. The class has performed numerous concerts for the PRINCE families, chapel, nursing homes, and competing in the ACSI Music Festival.

Drama & Theatre

The Drama and Theatre Department at Prince Avenue Christian School is designed to encourage students to discover and develop the talents God has given them. A Drama Club is offered in the After School Care program for grades 4th-6th. In Middle School, students are given the option to choose the Performing Arts class as an elective. Students receive an introduction to the basics of acting, including pantomime, improvisation, characterization, vocal projection, and auditioning. The faculty encourages all students to become involved whether they desire to be on the stage or behind the scenes. Costuming, theatrical makeup and set design are also required curriculum for our Speech and Drama class in the High School. PRINCE seeks to encourage and nurture young performers to articulate their acting techniques and apply them through a dramatic production. Productions have included Arsenic and Old Lace, The Wizard of Oz, and You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown.
