Temple Christian Academy Fine Arts programs offer to help K5-12th grade students develop their talents and sharpen their skills for the Lord. Our goal has been to glorify Christ by providing an opportunity for students to participate in events under music, speech, art, and core subjects. Students also perform for the Christmas, and spring programs. Each area has been carefully planned to help prepare students’ minds and abilities for a life of service to Christ. Students have the privilege to compete in the Texas Organization of Christian Schools Fine Arts district and regional competitions throughout the North Texas area which provides students a time of fellowship with other students in a Christ-honoring environment.

Katie Schulyer began teaching art at TCA in 2023. She inspires students to use their God-given artistic talent to the best of their ability and to create artwork that glorifies the Lord. Students learn to utilize the Elements of Art and Principles of Design in creating their masterpieces. Students compete in the Fine Arts competition and have consistently earned many awards.

Carin Gibbs will be working with all grades in the music department at TCA. This year your student will have an opportunity to develop their musical talents by participating in school programs, music theory classes for each age, fine arts, and drama presentations you will not want to miss!

Amy Kriske will be teaching Drama and Bible Quizzing this year. Amy has been involved in the fine arts program for 6 years as a volunteer and now as staff. Both Drama and Bible Quizzing are competitively showcased at Fine Arts. Amy has coached the TCA Elementary Bible Quizzing team for the last 3 years and is excited to be coaching the secondary Bible Quizzing team this year. She has a passion for helping your students grow in their spiritual walk, studying scripture, and competing with their knowledge. In Drama, your students will be challenged to work hard while having fun putting together drama presentations, duet acting, and readers theaters. Your students will learn the art of acting, public speaking, performing, confidence, team building, and leadership skills. Amy is looking forward to a wonderful year for Fine Arts here at TCA!

Krista Perkins will be working alongside Amy for TCA's drama productions and Fine Arts competitions.
