Fine Arts / Drama

Each elementary classroom will have fine arts as part of classroom instruction on a weekly basis. Middle and High School grades will also have fine art opportunities throughout the school year with the Middle / High School art teacher. A variety of media will be used, and creative expression encouraged, while a foundation for art appreciation will be introduced.

Drama is an elective class for High School students. Both Middle and High School students have the opportunity to be a part of the annual spring musical, whether or not they are in Drama class. The spring musical provides art experience as well as dramatic opportunities.

Throughout the school year, students have the opportunity to participate in local and regional Fine Arts festivals through ACSI,  MACSA, and other organizations that Carlisle Christian Academy is affiliated with.
