MISSION, VISION, VALUE
According to Education Week, exposing young people to art and culture can have a big impact on their development and success. Aliso Viejo Christian School does not only offer, but fully integrate fine arts, music and theater into the curriculum for all grades. Here are just a few of the ways our Conquerors connect with the arts.
Fine Arts
The AVCS students will experience art and use their creativity to work on a variety of projects in grades JK-8 that will be used to enhance or illustrate their knowledge and or mastery of certain subject matter. Students in grades JK through 5 experience bi-weekly Art and Drama studio classes with a specialized instructor. In grades 6 through 8, students can elect to take Art electives as well. During these classes, the students will explore the lives and techniques of great master artists bringing them to life through several mediums including papier-mâché’, clay, ink and paint.
Music
In 2014, AVCS launched our instrumental music program to grades K-2nd with the purchase of 24 electronic keyboards. Today, Aliso Viejo Christian School boasts a solid instrumental music program available to grades JK-5th grade. In grades 6-8th, our students may elect to participate in our Concert Band and/or Orchestra classes. These students have progressed quickly to be solid musicians that demonstrate leadership in community-wide competitions as well as school performances.
Theater
AVCS has several opportunities for students to experience dramatic theater. Beginning in Junior Kindergarten each elementary class will go to Drama Class with our Drama Teacher every other week for at least 30 minutes. During this time, the students will begin to explore the art of puppetry, role play, communication, public speaking and collaboration. In Middle School, grades 6-8, our students may take Drama/Art as one of their electives. These students will be given opportunities to act, write scripts, create costumes, and participate in set design.
AVCS offers an after-school Drama program that performs at least one amazing musical production annually. These performances have included Beauty and The Beast, The Lion King, Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz and more! Our campus has an amazing event center and stage that is transformed into a Broadway-style theater experience for everyone to enjoy.
