Enrichment ActivitiesPreschool - Eighth GradeSouthside Christian School is committed to providing our students with a broad choice of enriching activities that stimulate artistic, physical and creative growth. Music We believe music is a gift from God, and the appreciation of music begins at a very young age. Educational concepts are often taught through music and the repetition of words to music promotes memorization skills. Music also provides creative expression to the goodness of God. Preschool children have music classes with our Music Teacher two times per month and weekly for our barely 5 students. Vocal and instrumental concepts are introduced in an active and fun environment. Elementary students (K-5) have music on a weekly basis taught by our Elementary Music Director. Students participate in classroom instruction of the fundamentals of music theory as well as hands on instrumental and vocal instruction. Students have several opportunities throughout the year to showcase their musical talent. Fourth - Eighth grade students have the opportunity to join our youth choir. Students receive vocal instruction and have the opportunity to perform at community events.
