1) Glorifying God
Our relationships with Christ come first at Chapel Hill Academy, and that is no more evident than in the Fine Arts program. Talents are God-given, and we foster those gifts to glorify our Creator.
2) Pursuing Excellence
Students are encouraged to excel at a high standard in all their pursuits. Whether we are studying standard artistic practices or examining new methods, our pursuit of excellence in fine arts is a distinctive offering here at Chapel Hill Academy.
3) Growing in Relationships
We foster growth in students’ relationships with God, their peers, and themselves. Fine Arts at Chapel Hill Academy take place in a team-oriented environment where students build character, confidence, and collaborative skills.
4) Fostering Creativity
God is the ultimate creator, and at Chapel Hill Academy we emulate that attribute by pursuing creativity ourselves! Students are given opportunities to study the creative process and develop their own individual creative skills.
5) Studying the Classics
Teaching a classics-based Fine Arts curriculum at Chapel Hill Academy means that students have the exciting opportunity to study what makes great art – great! We cover the best of the best, old and new, when it comes to visual art, music, and theatre.
Music Curriculum
Choir: Choir students learn to sing joyfully while studying a wide variety of music, ranging from classic masterpieces to pop standards.
Music literacy is also a large component to choral studies at Chapel Hill Academy. Students study how to read music through solfege, rhythm studies, sight reading, and listening. Choir classes are energetic, enlightening, and encouraging, as students collaborate to sing excellently!
Music Studies: As an alternative to Choir for seventh & eighth grade students, Music Studies covers a wide variety of general music and music appreciation curriculum. Students will study singing, music history, music theory, critical listening, and keyboarding.
Band: Band students learn to play instruments skillfully while playing a variety of music ranging from classics to contemporary. Beginners are placed in Junior Band and experienced musicians are a part of the Concert Band.
Art Curriculum
With the knowledge that God is the Ultimate Artist and He is wildly creative in His work, middle school students will explore and discover their God given creativity through art classes at CHA. Students will apply their understanding of the elements of art to their projects. With the challenge to be biblically minded, each project will allow for student expression while being mindful of good use of art principles. Art projects will introduce students to many different mediums such as drawing, painting, graphics, collage, ceramics, wire, and other 3D materials. Many projects will connect with their core subjects such as language arts and history. Every student is considered an artist coming into class and has the understanding that we all are creative in our own ways.
