The Arts at TKA
We believe that God is the ultimate creator and that we are created in His image.
As such, we each are a creator–perhaps a painter, a poet, a musician, a scientist, etc. The King’s Academy offers opportunities for each student to discover the creator within and engage their talents in fine arts, language, athletics, and other disciplines.
TKA Fine Arts Courses
Art, Advanced Art I, II, III (results in portfolio), Choir, Orchestra, Drama, and Photography. For complete course descriptions please see The King’s Academy Online Student Handbook here.
TKA Awards for Students in the Arts
