We reflect God through creativity.

FAITH CHRISTIAN SCHOOL OFFERS AN ARTS, MUSIC, AND THEATER PROGRAM IN ROANOKE, VA.

Art

Art teaches us to be patient and persistent, to observe, contemplate, and analyze, but most importantly, it teaches us to understand and appreciate beauty. Beauty is NOT relative as the world would have us think it is. Some things are beautiful and some are ugly and base. Our art curriculum equips students to learn to see, understand, and appreciate beauty. God created a beautiful world and that means something. It is our desire for our students to love what God loves. This requires that they are trained to see beauty and distinguish it from what is not beauty.
Faith Christian School Art Student

I'm thankful for Faith Christian School because the academics are stellar! The school's focus on the arts has helped my son's creativity to blossom. Additionally, my son is so much happier at FCS.

Music

Similar to art, music moves our souls. It is difficult not to be carried away by Pachelbel’s Canon—swept up in its beauty and grace. Soundtracks for movies accentuate danger and fear, or care and compassion. Understanding the nature of music deepens our ability to enjoy beauty. The Scriptures are full of calls to worship God with song and instrument. We believe music appreciation, performance, and literacy are critical elements to living a full life.

Our family is new to FCS this school year, and this community has been such a blessing to us already! The teachers love our children and help them to grow in their individual giftedness.

Theater

The theater is a powerful tool that serves students for their entire lives. The following are a few of the particular skills drama instruction can develop:

 

  • Understanding the power of story
  • Understanding differing perspectives—walking in another’s shoes, empathy
  • Historical or biographical theater broadens our appreciation for complex issues, personalizing historical and literary characters, and developing new perspectives on the times/eras, etc.
  • Confidence being in front of others
  • Building skills of diction, projection, articulation, inflection, and voice control
  • Deepening appreciation for poetry, prose, meter, alliteration, nuance
  • Being part of a team, a troupe, playing off one another
  • Body awareness in time and space
  • Audience awareness
  • Building memorization “muscles”
  • Growing in courage, confidence, boldness, humility, grace, deference, patience, etc.
