Our high school theater arts program has many goals and our curriculum supports the Stanislavski "Method" and uses tests that outline and support his work.

Our first year program introduces some of each part of the theater discipline, including set design, costume design, lighting design, and theater history. Our second year program focuses much more on acting and scenework. My elementary program introduces the concept of character and performance to our elementary students. Both of these programs serve the same purposes. They not only expose our children to culture, but they also instill a sense of confidence and empathy. The basics of movement, diction, and breath are taught and improved upon. More complicated concepts such as creating a character and empathizing with a situation are also introduced. Our ultimate goal is to teach that all fine arts, being inherently creative, ultimately point toward and glorify our Creator.
