Behold the Beauty lessons teach the elements of art: line, shape, texture, color, value, and form, and include lessons in combining these elements .

The ultimate objective of every lesson is exactly as the title implies: to behold the beauty of creation and to praise God in doing that. As students learn to more closely observe creation while rendering what they see in pencil, paint, or other artistic media, they will be trained to meet that objective. In serving that goal, the lessons teach how to use the elements of art, such as line, shape, and color, while introducing the principles of design, such as unity, variety, and focal point. Not only do students learn to behold the evidence of God’s glory all around them by these means, they also learn to make objects of beauty in order to communicate that glory to others. The curriculum is based on the infallible Scriptures, and the twelve lessons of each grade level comprise a thorough, biblical, and systematic art education.

The role of Christian physical education is to provide students with the knowledge, skills, fitness, and attitudes necessary to lead a healthy life in order to serve God and others. To pursue a lifetime of healthful physical activity, a physically literate individual has learned the skills necessary to participate in a variety of physical activities, knows the implications and the benefits of involvement in various types of physical activity, is physically fit, and values physical activity and its contributions to a helthful and God-honoring lifestyle.

Throughout the school year, students will engage in a wide array of activities in which they will glorify God through their display of His word. Students will perform memory verses, participate in seasonal plays, and demonstrate their growing knowledge of God’s gift of music. In all aspects of puclic performance, students will gain confidence in sharing God’s word, in speaking in front of others, and in working with others to create harmony in voice and cooperation.

Teacher created lessons and techology integration mean that GCS students at all levels develop skills to use technology as a tool to research, organize, evaluate, and communicate. Students are trained in basic operations, social and ethical issues regarding computer use, critical thinking skills to solve problems, and level-appropriate technology research and communication tools. 

We believe students need to learn about technology in a way that is safe and also prepares them for the future, but we also believe that children thrive best in face-to-face interactions with staff and other students. Technology use will be very intentional and lessons carefully selected to grow responsible users.
