Electives

Art

God is the ultimate creator.  His masterpieces are beyond our comprehension.  In his sweet gift, he has given us an ability to create.  We seek to appreciate beauty and be helped by the chance to feel and express in a creative and constructive way. 

Music

God created music to help him fill the cracks of our soul.  Listening to beautiful compositions, as well as having the chance to create music, is central to our music class. 

Chess

Playing chess helps improve memory, spatial reasoning, and strategy.  It helps students learn to work within a set of boundaries, and how to love their neighbor by showing good sportsmanship.
