Arts

• Art classes help students explore the elements of art through images, videos, lectures, and projects where they learn to draw, paint, and make 3D sculptures.
   
• Grades K-5 elementary art classes are 60 minutes every other week. 6th grade meets every week for 60 minutes.
   
• Junior high (Grades 7-8) students can select Photography or Mixed Media Art as electives. Elective classes meet twice weekly for approximately 1 hour each session.  

Kindergarten - 4th Grade Music:

• Grades K-4 participate in weekly music classes with a dedicated music teacher. They learn about composers, instruments that make up the orchestra, songwriting, and movement as it relates to rhythm. Our emphasis for every student is on music (instrumentation, appreciation, and theory), singing, movement, and performance. 

5th & 6th Grade Music:

• Grades 5-6 choose one area of music in which they will participate between band, strings, and choir. Each area of performance will include reading music, personal development of instrument/voice, and corporate performances as benchmarks to display their accomplishments.

Junior High Music:

• Grades 7-8 can choose a performing arts elective (choir, instruments, band, etc.) which meets Tuesdays and Thursdays during the school day. They may choose from classes like guitar, tech, choir, band, and a variety of others. Elective classes meet twice weekly for approximately 1 hour each session.

MVCS Worship Team:

• Grades 5-8 have the opportunity to participate in our student-led worship team, MVCS Worship. This program is intended to teach students to grow in skill in their instrument, in their understanding of worship through music, and in love for Jesus and His Presence.
   

• Our program includes a diverse range of instruments, featuring vocals, acoustic and electric guitar, bass, drums, synth, keys, and even a few violin players. We incorporate advanced techniques such as in-ear monitors, click tracks, and sound tech training to ensure our students receive comprehensive musical education. We are thrilled to mentor this generation of musicians, nurturing their ability to play and worship with excellence.

  The team convenes once weekly for practice, preparing to lead worship during our weekly chapel services. Their responsibilities extend to providing worship music for our entire student body, and they also facilitate movement worship for our younger grades (K-2) several times each month.

Each year, the MVCS Fine Arts Department offers after-school extra-curricular activities for students interested in developing theater skills. These include the Fall Musical, Christmas productions, and the Spring Musical.
