Fine Arts

The Fine Arts program at NCA provides students encouragement and facilitate a space where students can create beauty in a variety of different media including the visual arts, theatrical arts, musical arts and dance.

Students are afforded opportunities to explore, develop, and be challenged by taking three types of classes: mandatory Curriculum, optional Electives, and optional Applied Courses. The mandatory Curriculum and optional Elective classes are taught during the academic school day; Applied Courses are offered as after-school programming.

At the EXPLORE level, our K-6 Curriculum and Applied Courses create a solid foundation in the arts. At this beginner stage, students will have the opportunity to discover and investigate the arts, leading to a lifetime of appreciation and enjoyment. 

At the DEVELOP level, our 7th and 8th Grade Curriculum, Elective, and Applied Courses will further challenge students in their knowledge and techniques. This intermediate stage will also provide a way to teach the students about commitment and perseverance. 

At the CHALLENGE level, our Elective and Applied Courses will mold students who exhibit the passion, desire, and aptitude to take their craft to the highest point possible. To be accepted into this advanced stage, students must be recommended or submit an application that may also be accompanied by an interview or audition.

2023-2024 Fine Arts Opportunities

With the successful launching of our first NCA Choir and NCA String Orchestra last year, we are looking to expand the Fine Arts offerings and add to these ensembles by allowing our younger grades to participate. Choir will now be open from 2nd grade onwards while the String Orchestra will include those in 4th grade and up. More information, including the sign-up for these ensembles, will be available on ParentSquare to allow us to make this a beautiful experience for our students and the school.
