Overview

At Covenant Academy, we believe in the transformative power of the arts as a vital component of a Christ-centered classical
education. Our comprehensive Fine Arts program, encompassing Art, Music, and Drama, is designed to foster creativity,
appreciation, and skillful expression, aligning with our vision for our graduates.

Our Fine Arts program is a crucial component of our mission to shape and disciple every child. Starting from building fundamental skills in the Grammar Years to exploring specific areas in the Logic and High School Years, our objective is to equip students with the ability to confidently express their creativity and faith in the future.

"Art can open our eyes to the beauties of the created order. A painting or a song or a poem can spark a flash of illumination…" — Gene Edward Veith, State of the Arts

Art

| Celebrating God's Creative Image

Inspired by the belief that God is the first and best artist, our art program encourages students to explore and create. From the early grades, students are immersed in classical methods, learning to appreciate and imitate beautiful works. This journey includes art history and appreciation, integrated with historical studies to contextualize culture and beauty. Our curriculum extends beyond the classroom to experiences like visits to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, enriching our students’ understanding and appreciation of art.

"The feeling of art is a means to shared feelings, creating community not merely between humans but between humans and God." — Dr.Steve Turley, Awakening Wonder
