FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT
Two semesters of Fine Arts participation are required.

Art
This one semester course offered to juniors and seniors emphasizes the elements of art and the principles of design using various media, especially pencil, colored pencil, watercolor, and acrylic paint. Realism is stressed as we desire to "behold the beauty of the Lord" (Ps. 27:4), training ourselves in close observation of the "most elegant book" (Art. 2, Belgic Confession).

Choir and Band
Choir and Band are ongoing activities, or those that may be offered less than 5 days per week. It may take a full year to gain a semester credit, for instance.

Participation in activities such as yearbook preparation may be considered for credit.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
Two semesters of PE course work are required.

Physical Education and Health
Students are required to take two semesters of Physical Education. In the first course, a health unit is presented in addition to the skill building activities of team and individual sports. The second semester builds upon the first, with further skill and strategy development in a variety of team and individual sports. The third elective course expands the experience through participation in sports and activities not encountered in the first two courses.

The goal of the P.E. curriculum is to develop a Reformed Christian attitude regarding our bodies, athletics, competition, recreation, and professional sports. Personal health issues and choices that affect our health will be explored in the first course. Skill development, learning rules and strategies, working as a team, and improving our physical health are additional goals.
