Our Fine Arts School is a catalyst of Fine Arts evangelism to glorify God and to enrich lives in Central Florida. Christian teachers will inspire excellence in a creative and non- threatening environment.

Through developmentally appropriate instruction, performance experiences, and exposure to the arts, the Fine Arts School of Central Florida will strive to equip students for using their God-given talents for career opportunities, and for an appreciation of the Fine Arts.

God has created each person to live for His glory. Our school helps beginners and students of all ages to develop their gifts in the Fine Arts to His glory. Please read below and consider becoming a part of this adventure.

Our mission is to see God glorified, lives changed, and a Central Florida movement of Fine Arts evangelism.
