The arts and the sciences do have a place in the Christian life — they are not peripheral. For a Christian, redeemed by the work of Christ and living within the norms of Scripture and under the leadership of the Holy Spirit, the Lordship of Christ should include an interest in the arts. A Christian should use these arts to the glory of God — not just as tracts, but as things of beauty to the praise of God. And art work can be a doxology in itself.

God is the consummate Creator. Humans are created in His image. So we recognize that humans are, by nature, creative. At Dayspring, as a Christ-centered school, we have the liberty, the privilege and the duty to help students understand that every person is creative by nature, and the basis for that conclusion. Then we intentionally work with students to identify and apply their creative gifts.
