At San Francisco Christian School, we believe every student is made in the image of the ultimate Creator—and that creativity is a gift meant to be nurtured. In our Christian elementary and middle school programs, students begin by learning foundational art vocabulary and drawing techniques. Art is often integrated into other core subjects, reinforcing both academic learning and artistic expression.
By high school, students have the opportunity to deepen their skills and explore their unique creative voice. A variety of visual arts courses are offered, allowing students to grow in both technique and imagination—all while learning to use their talents for a higher purpose.
These high school art classes include the following:
Introduction
