Are you looking for something new to help make your kids's summer fun and creative this year?
This has been such a hard time for everyone this spring with concerns about covid 19.
Wouldn't it be nice to have some of those things, like dance classes, music lessons and more, be offered online?
I recently have been introduced to the Faith Center for the Arts, who has offered classes in the arts for over 25 years, and have served 500 homeschool families each year in:
- dance
- music
- drama
- visual arts
The Center provides a supportive, nurturing community where kids can feel safe to explore new things in the arts, and develop their artistic potential.
Since the quarantine started, this school has been creative and innovative, offering online and virtual classes, music lessons, and camps and more.
That will be continuing this summer! What a great way to build in some fun and creative learning into your children's and teen's summer.
Virtual Summer CAMPS
At this time, Faith Center for the Arts is offering virtual camps throughout the summer.

Or are you looking for something new for your children to do in the arts this coming fall?
One of the things that we most liked about homeschooling, was that we could follow our child's interests. That started when she was 2 and 1/2, when she convinced us that she was ready for ballet.
We found her a class, and it was a great experience for her. Later, she enjoyed doing irish dance, and eventually joined a performing group that did events at senior centers and assisted living programs.
All of this did much more than just building her dance skills, athough that experience added a lot to her childhood.
It also gave her a chance to develop such skills as:
- self confidence
- direction following
- social skills and being a part of a group
- work ethic
- perseverance
- creativity
and more.
Fall at Faith Center for the Arts
Hopefully that will happen, and
then there will again be live classes in dance, music, visual arts, and drama.
If not, they will be offering their classes online again. As there is a growing ONLINE program, too!
Your children and teens would have many class options in each category of music, drama, dance and the visual arts.
With classes ranging from guitar and dance to digital design and jazz band, there will be something for everyone aged 5 - 18!
Their teachers are all experts in their fields, yet the tuition is roughly half the national average for their families spread over 6 conveniently localed campuses.

They even have some resources that are FREE.
And it is not hard to make this into an high school elective, for your teen.
I invite you to click here for more information on Frugal Art for all ages, and How to Make It into a High School Elective, if you like.
They even offer sample lessons for free here - Sample Lessons - You Are An Artist
The Arts is such an important activity for our kids and teens, leading to so much growth and development.
