Vision
The Fine Arts Department at Rancho Christian Schools will help students grow up in Christ with a view to God’s creative and expressive qualities and how we as children of God should live out those qualities in our everyday lives.
Student Vision
Our aim is to instruct and train young men and women in the visual and performing arts, helping them to acquire what God has called them to achieve. Through music, drama, art, photography, media and worship arts – and many other artistic applications – we will endeavor to promote spiritual growth and community service, assisting students in discovering the talents and gifts that the Lord has given them to use to build up others.

Opportunities

RCS students will have opportunities within and outside the classroom to explore and improve their artistic expression through classroom music, chapel services, annual school-wide productions, bands, choir, stage-craft, technical production, worship teams, art classes, drama presentations, and many more opportunities.
