The Arts at MC
Monte Cassino students begin with fine arts at the ECLC level.
Within this age group, students have opportunities to express their creativity using a variety of media with an early-childhood spin. Drawing and painting help our students develop their fine motor skills.
ECLC students at all levels are also engaged in beloved music tearcher, Mrs. Ellington's weekly music lessons which open their minds to the beauty of music. Students are introduced to a variety of instruments, composers, and musical traditions, and move to fun rhythms. Three- and four-year-olds perform Christmas programs during the holidays, while Kindergarten students provide a musical revue in the spring.
Art becomes a departmental class at the first grade level. Mrs. Abbott's Elementary School students take a tour through art history as they progress through the elementary years, learning about the artists, culture, media and techniques used during each time period. Students who show an affinity and talent for art are chosen to participate in various art shows in the community. All students are represented in our own annual elementary art show.

In Elementary School music classes, students are introduced to musical theory, sight-reading, more advanced instruments, choreography, and what it takes to put on a musical production. Each grade level performs their own spectacular musical revue, directed by our talented Elementary School music teacher, Mrs. Pearson.
Mr. Zumwalt's Middle School art students learn traditional and modern forms of art and expression with a fun and exciting flair. They begin by developing three dimensional artworks using the kiln, then move on to various other activities to express themselves and develop creativity.
The Middle School drama program gives students a chance to perform classic musicals as well as more modern options. Students at the Middle School level are also given opportunities to learn more about the behind-the-scenes aspects of productions, including lighting, sound and set design.

Beyond their experiences in musicals and various performances, all Monte Cassino students have access to classes that teach basic vocal and singing techniques and prepare students for religious celebrations or other community events.
