At CCS, creativity and artistic expression are nurtured from the very beginning. Students in Lower School begin exploring vocals and instruments, igniting their creativity and artistic development. In Upper School, they can choose to specialize in singing, playing an instrument, or engaging in the dramatic arts. Whether performing at prestigious venues like Carnegie Hall or at a semester recital, students discover that artistic expression thrives through collaboration.

Choral repertoire includes sacred, popular, gospel, spirituals, and classical styles. Groups have the opportunity to perform in chapel services, regional and state festivals, concerts, and community events.
Whether you're beginning instrumental study or you're already an advanced musician, we meet instrumentalists where they are and help them grow in proficiency to perform a wide variety of content.
In Theatre, students analyze, understand, educate, and serve the community by telling compelling stories by way of artistic expression. CLICK HERE for more about our award-winning theatre department.
Worship Arts is a performing ensemble that prepares and performs Middle and High School chapel worship music. Students study the biblical theology of worship, a survey of church music traditions, how to create worship plans, and the technology and logistics of worship services.
Art Club is offered in both our Middle School and High School. It's a time to meet other creative individuals and have fun exploring all kinds of art. Whether face painting at football games, bleach art on shirts, or block printmaking, members do not need to be a "good artist." Art Club provides the opportunity to learn new things and even sell your own art without the pressure of doing it alone. It's also a good opportunity to hang out with new people and play a variety of art-related games.
Nonesuch is a committed group of High School students striving to cultivate a culture of independent creative writing, performing and artistry in the High School. Dedicated team members meet weekly to review hundreds of original works of poetry, prose, fiction, songwriting, film, and visual art submitted over the year, and to plan the best ways to showcase our student body's best work.
Nothing gets the crowd going and encourages school spirit like the CCS Pep Band, a fun mix of band students and instrumental enthusiasts! We provide music at the high school varsity football and basketball home games. Middle School band students can join the Pep Band as an opportunity to grow and perform alongside more advanced high school musicians.
The CCS Theatre needs community collaboration! All students are invited to be involved: singers, dancers, actors, artists, and behind the scenes crew members. Auditions are required for all performing roles, and crew involvement is non-auditioned.

"When our work as artists pushes us toward other cultures, languages, historic and current events, areas of brokenness, and beauty, we develop authentic empathy for the world outside our four walls."
