Fine Arts at Heritage

Heritage Christian School is located in Indianapolis, IN.

At Heritage, the arts are a core part of the curriculum.

We feel it’s impossible to nurture and develop the whole child without the creative nature of the arts. From music ensembles, visual arts like painting and sculpting, to theater, photography, and many others, there are a wide variety of opportunities for students to engage and grow their creative talents and gifts.

All students are involved in the arts from preschool to grade twelve because we know students involved in the arts are more likely to graduate with honors.

Theater

Elective theater classes are offered to middle school and high school students. Students currently perform two stage productions each year; a musical in the fall and a play in the spring. Both productions attract patrons from within the Heritage family and the Indianapolis community.

A Note Regarding the 2020-21 School Year:

While our learning environment looks quite different this year as we follow safety protocols school wide, fine arts students and teachers are thankful to be together to learn, create and grow in music, visual arts and theater.

Fine Arts Courses
Middle school and high school choir and instrumental groups are meeting in the cafetorium, wearing masks when singing, physically distancing and still making music. Orchestra classes have moved to the band room in order to physically distance. Sixth grade students have music classes with their cohort, and general music classes in K-5 are in the regular classroom. Visual art classes are continuing with appropriate distancing and careful use of supplies, and theater is moving forward as an academic class.

Fine Arts Events
Fine Arts at HCS is an academic pursuit with co-curricular and extracurricular components. Because of the Marion County guidelines for Covid-19, these co-curricular and extracurricular aspects will look different for the foreseeable future, as audiences are limited to 25% capacity, as well as safety protocols for the students. At this point, we are creatively assessing options for concerts (co-curricular) and a theater production (extracurricular) at some point during the year. When we are able to make more concrete plans for safe performances, we will share that information.

In the meantime, outstanding fine arts education is happening daily at HCS! We are looking forward to the time we can all gather safely and enjoy reflecting God’s glory in the arts!
