ARTS
ACSD has a robust and active fine arts department. Bringing the students together from both campuses allows for collaboration resulting in deeper creativity and excellence. Our fine arts department is motivated to this excellence by our guiding statement borrowed from the reformers, Soli Deo Gloria: Glory to God alone.

K-8 MUSIC
Music classes are held weekly for all students
in K-8th grade each week. We emphasize music
as a gift of God to celebrate his goodness and
to share in worship, beauty, and community.
Every December, students participate in the
all-school Christmas concert. Middle school
students also participate in the spring concert.
