Our teachers collaborate with local artists to prepare our students for personal artistic pursuits and college preparation in various fields of art. We actively seek to be involved in the christian art community, providing a gateway for our students to use their talents without compromise. We conclude our year with a gallery night where our students display thier work for the greater fort worth community.

The interpretive classes offer classical ballet, point, and irish dance for ages 5-18. Classes combine proper technique, choreography, interpretation, and performance as an act of worship to the creator of the arts. The theatrical art classes in drama and acting nuture a deeply creative community that is wholly christ-centered and teach skills necessary in theater such as improvisation, monologues, costuming, makeup and stage combat.
