The Eagle's Landing Christian Academy preschool and elementary music program is designed to align curriculum and help identify students who have a passion for the performing arts. Elementary and preschool students participate in a class called Exploration of the Performing Arts. In this program, students learn about and explore each of the performing arts disciplines. Age appropriate elements of instrumental music, vocal music, and drama are introduced to all students throughout the K3 through 4th grade years. Georgia music standards for elementary and GELDS for preschool is used along with Biblical Worldview integration.
