Visual and Performing ArtsLiberty Christian School feels an obligation to our students not only to encourage, but to provide a program of appreciation for great visual and performing arts - that which has stood the test of time and takes thought, discipline and study, not only to perform but also to listen to and enjoy. We believe that there are many, who if given information, education and experience, can and will learn to appreciate the challenge found in the arts. In the artistic realms, God should receive our best, as with any endeavor. Great visual and performing art should uplift, challenge, give insight into our humanity, and give insight into the fulfillment found in God's principles for life set forth in His Word.
Here are some Visual and Performing Arts offered at Liberty:
