Performing & Fine Arts

Performing and Fine Arts Overview

The Performing & Fine Arts Program offers a unique opportunity for students and school performance groups in grades 3-12 to showcase their talents, develop new skills, and utilize their God-given abilities.

ACSI Performing & Fine Arts programs go beyond traditional competitions or showcases. Through collaboration with fellow participants, students receive valuable feedback from experienced mentors about teamwork and unity. Rehearsals, performances, and showcases highlight the transformative potential of collective efforts and the impact of shared musical and artistic expressions.

Partnership Program Overview

The ACSI Student Leadership & Learning Performing & Fine Arts Partnership Program provides member K-12 schools and higher education institutions with a platform to promote their PFA programs and increase exposure to other member schools. By providing content experts and featuring established campus-hosted programs, these partners provide schools access to high-quality creative performing and fine arts experiences.

This partnership delivers exclusive member benefits, including greater program visibility through ACSI’s global network and stronger connections between K-12 and higher education, inspiring students to further develop their talents.
