Visual Arts

The visual arts offer a glimpse into what God must have felt like during Creation, crafting man in His own image. As we create, we tap into the creativity of our Creator, achieving an unparalleled intimacy with God.

The visual arts programs at NCCS are designed to tap into students' natural curiosity, creativity and inventiveness, teaching both technical and historical aspects of the craft, while unleashing individual artistic potential.

“The gift in our hands is meant to stir a longing for the eternal … it’s meant to express heaven’s beauty … a stirring for something more.”
– Cassandra Langton, Hillsong

Visual Arts Across Divisions

Lower School

Middle School

Upper School

The broad exposure to visual arts in early grades allows for identification of skills and techniques that help focus the student’s talent as they develop into Upper School. In Upper School students are able to expand their artistic interests by taking classes about a specific discipline or technique. Upper School students also have the opportunity to participate in the Academy of the Arts, which offers a Visual Arts track for students interested in more intense exploration of the arts.
