CELEBRATING CREATIVITY & EXCELLENCE IN THE FINE ARTS
At Emmanuel Christian Academy, the Fine Arts Department is a vibrant space where creativity and excellence come together to glorify God.
With opportunities spanning theatre, choir, orchestra, band, and visual arts, students discover and refine their talents under the guidance of dedicated faculty. From the earliest grades through high school, our program inspires a love of the arts, nurtures discipline and collaboration, and provides many wonderful opportunities for our students to shine on stage, in our halls and within the community.
The Fine Arts Department is a place where students discover their God-given creativity, develop resilience through practice, and bring joy to the Emmanuel community and beyond, where our students leave a legacy of excellence.
We invite you to explore upcoming performances, celebrate our recent achievements, and experience the beauty of our Emmanuel Fine Arts Department for yourself.
