Creating. Exploring. Discovering God-Given Talents.

Creating. Exploring. Discovering.

At Maranatha Christian School, we believe creativity is a gift from God and an important part of a well-rounded education. Our pre-school through 12th grade, students are given opportunities to explore the visual arts, develop new skills, and discover creative abilities they may not have known they possessed.

K5-6th Grade

Our younger students begin by experiencing the joy of creating. Through drawing, painting, paper art, design, and a variety of hands-on projects, students learn about color, shape, texture, technique, and artistic expression. As they grow, projects become more detailed and challenging, allowing students to strengthen their skills while developing patience, confidence, and an appreciation for the creative process. Students also learn about the art of cooking! Their favorite project is making pizza and then eating it.

7th-12th Grade

In high school, students have opportunities to take their creativity even further. Visual arts can extend beyond traditional drawing and painting into areas such as photography, graphic design, sculpture, textiles, mixed media, and other creative disciplines. Students are encouraged to experiment with different materials and techniques while developing their own artistic style and learning that art can take many forms.

High school students also have the opportunity to participate in TRICom competition, where they can showcase their talents alongside students from other Christian schools. These experiences challenge students to develop their abilities, take pride in their work, and use their creativity with excellence.
