Art, Drama, and Music

Observe, Interpret and Express Life through Music

Creativity and art are both components of the comprehensive and classical Christian education at Arma Dei Academy. From Kindergarten through School of Rhetoric, students have the opportunity to explore instruments, song, and performing arts as they learn to glorify God in all things.

Art

Every student at Arma Dei Academy learns artistic form and style through weekly art classes. Their affections are drawn to the Good, True, and Beautiful through regular study of historical works of art carefully chosen by art teachers to correspond with each grade’s historical time period. Their skill and creativity are exercised through imitation of that artwork.

Music

Arma Dei Academy’s Music program is comprehensive and fun. Students sing a variety of praise songs and other music. They learn rhythm, pitch, notes, and other elements of musical theory, using embodied learning that gets them out of their seat and moving. Students study famous composers and learn to play a variety of instruments, from glockenspiels to keyboard and guitar.

Students may also join our Grammar Chorale, where they have the opportunity to sing and praise God with full heart and voice at a higher level than the regular music class. Led by our Grammar music teacher, Students from Kindergarten through Fifth grades meet once a week each semester. They practice harmony-singing, sing rounds, and play ensemble instruments as they prepare for special chapel performances, including Veterans Appreciation Chapel, Christmas Chapel, and Easter Chapel.
