The Arts
The Fine Arts program inspires students to discover, develop, and express their creativity through artistic exploration and performance.
Art is all around us – in every possible medium, through every minute of every day. Whether it is a Rembrandt hanging in a museum or a well-designed piece of furniture, a Rodgers & Hammerstein musical or an excellent public speaker, Pavarotti, or Taylor Swift – it’s all art. Participation in the arts will allow your student to understand it all and can find his or her own artistic voice.
From visual arts, instrumental and vocal music, and theatre to digital and graphic design, Concordia Prep students build technical skills, confidence, and an appreciation for the creative process.
Through engaging coursework, performances, exhibitions, and collaborative projects, our Middle and Upper School students are encouraged to think critically, communicate creatively, and embrace new challenges. The Fine Arts program provides opportunities for every student—from those exploring an artistic interest for the first time to those pursuing advanced study—to grow as artists, performers, and lifelong learners.

Our priority is musical ministry coupled with superior performance. Students will have the opportunity to perform on campus as well as at churches, schools, and community functions.
