Arts
As creatures made in the image of God, we all inherit the blessing of creativity. Bear Creek students are creating, performing, and learning how to interpret their world through a sequential arts curriculum taught during the regular school day. We believe a robust arts curriculum provides rich opportunities to perform and create in art, music, and drama; perceive and respond to each of the arts disciplines; understand the role of the arts in our world; and make connections between the arts and other aspects of life, meaning, and culture.
