Fine Arts

The hope of the ICS Art Department is for students to explore art and the world around them, discover the art and the artist within them, and share art through finished works as worship. This philosophy is the foundation for the Art Department for 1st-12th grades. The High School department offers more specific classes such as Ceramics, Painting, Drawing, and Advanced Art for juniors and seniors. As Beauty Creators and Community Builders, ICS students can explore and discover the creative process individually and as a community.

Instrumental Music

ICS offers concert band, chapel band, and handbell choirs. Beginning Band starts in 5th grade and students go on to audition for their chosen band in Upper School. ICS students were blessed to have piqued the interest of a composer to commission a piece to be premiered by our students during our annual Spring Concert. Instruments and music are rich ways to add to your student’s experience at ICS.

Vocal Ensemble

Our vocal ensemble is a shining example of our philosophy of education in action. Our students have numerous opportunities to perform around the Salt Lake Valley including nursing homes and Globetrotters Games. One of the greatest and most unique experiences ICS offers is Music Tour, an outreach to underprivileged children. This is a perfect example of a FLEX experience in our high school

Dance

The hope of the ICS Dance Program is for students to explore the art of dance, discover their ability to move creatively, and share creative movement through worship. Afterschool classes are available to Pre-K – 5th grade students, and Dance Electives are offered to middle school through high school. Students are given the opportunity to perform off campus, lead dance chapels, and perform in our Spring Dance Concert. As God Worshippers, our focus is on glorifying Jesus through dance!

Concerts & Art Shows

The Spring Concert for both elementary and secondary students showcase the culmination of work the students have accomplished throughout the year. The many ICS performing art groups prepare pieces that reflect their musical growth and abilities. Ranging from beginning bells and bands all the way through high school choir and instrumental ensembles, the Spring Concert is without fail, a highlight of the school year for students and families alike.  

Theater

We provide students the opportunity to participate in multiple drama productions throughout the school year that allow them to grow their abilities as performers and communicators. Producing both middle school and high school productions, ICS seeks to choose material that is wholesome and edifying, as well as challenging and entertaining.
