Elementary School

Art

Students at ECES imitate their creator God when they visit the art room each week. K-4 students are exposed to a variety of mediums including; watercolors, tempera paint, pencil, colored pencil, markers, clay, and oil pastels. Teaching is based on the elements of art and the principles of design. Projects are centered on artists and correlate with classroom instruction. We strive to glorify God through our artwork and instruction.

Music

At Eastern Christian, music is viewed as a God-given gift to humanity. Our music education program strives to build skills that steward this gift for
God's glory. Our curriculum follows the National Standards in exploring melody, rhythm, form, expression, timbre, texture and harmony in music.
Through vocal development, movement and dance, and introduction to pitched and non-pitched percussion instruments, students develop an appreciation for genres of music from many different cultures.

 Kindergarten students attend weekly 30-minute music classes. Students in
grades 1-4 attend music twice weekly. Special highlights of our music
program include the option for violin instruction, beginning in 2nd grade, in place of one weekly music session. Fourth grade students participate in
a combined chorus for one of their music classes. In addition, students in
all grade levels may take piano and guitar lessons offered in our After
School Program.
