Developing God-given gifts in the arts.
Highly qualified, experienced instructors train students in music, dramatic arts, and visual art, instilling a spirit of excellence and a lasting love for the arts.
Our approach
Excellence on stage, in the studio, and in ministry.
Fine arts instruction is part of the general curriculum and is also offered in optional small-group and private settings. Group instruction begins in preschool, and private lessons begin in kindergarten.
Our faculty are gifted at teaching a proper philosophy of the arts. Students experience the excitement and challenge of public performance, regional, state, and national competitions, and ministry involvement, and the WCA fine arts program consistently earns regional, state, and national awards.
