Fine Arts

Denver Christian Schools encourages students to use their God-given gifts in the area of the fine arts to glorify their Lord and Savior. It is our goal to support students in their endeavors to pursue excellence in vocal music, instrumental music, the visual arts, drama and creative writing.

Music develops confidence, technical skill, independence, reading and aural skills, and knowledge of music history and theory.  Music literature, sacred and secular are explored in the music programs at Denver Christian Schools.  The aesthetic realm is introduced, inviting all musicians to bring beauty to the world and to glorify God through sound.

The Israelites who were present in Jerusalem celebrated the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days with great rejoicing, while the Levites  and priests sang to the LORD every day, accompanied by the LORD's instruments of praise.

-2 Chronicles 30:21

Drama

As one of the fine arts, drama is immediately associated with its/files/_StudentLife/FineArts/imageCA8ZV80G.jpg final product: the performance.  At DCS, we believe that what can be seen when the curtain rises is only part of a much bigger picture.  Drama is a powerful, brain-compatible learning medium, through which students are exposed to a wide range of learning opportunities in literature, history, and human relationships.  Students who study drama develop confidence, vocal delivery skills, and physical poise, all of which are beneficial wherever their future studies may take them.  Preparing a play also provides opportunities to learn teamwork, patience, time management and how to rise to a challenge.  All of this is accomplished in an atmosphere of creativity, mutual support and fun!

Visual Arts

At Denver Christian Schools, the role of faith in work as an artist emerges from who we believe God made us -the call he places on our lives and the commitment he demands of all of us.  Faith is not  a component of our art;  it is its source.  This is the core of what we want our art students to understand.

Creative Writing

In addition to encouraging literary potential as part of the English curriculum, Denver Christian High School encourages additional creative writing with publishing opportunities in school publications, including the DC Contact.  DCS also publishes a literary magazine featuring student’s poems and narratives every spring. Students are encouraged to submit pieces for critique and possible publication.
