Creative Arts
Creative arts are an integral part of our curriculum. We believe that the arts are a reflection of God's creativity and beauty, and that they play a vital role in the development of our students. Through music, theater, and visual arts, students learn to appreciate the beauty of God's creation. Fine arts also help to develop critical thinking skills, discipline, and teamwork. OCA is committed to providing a well-rounded education that includes a strong emphasis on the arts, as we believe that they are an essential part of a Classical Christian Education.
