Electives

We believe that educational excellence demands a well rounded and balanced approach to life. Consequently, SMLCA is committed to offering a broad range of electives; first and foremost is our commitment to the Arts and Music. Perhaps no other academic discipline allows students to discover, develop and display their God given talents and gifts than the Performing Arts. Consequently, every student should benefit from this discipline. Performing arts allows students the opportunity to gain confidence and poise, character traits we expect to see in our alumni.

From the study of hymns to using musical jingles to memorize scripture, music is a tremendous tool to develop faith. It provides a great teaching catalyst to analyze that what goes into our hearts is usually what comes out.  We will begin most mornings in worship and praise!

In our desire to be innovative while being fundamentally sound, we hope to be creative in our elective offerings. Short term mini-courses from cooking, interior design, firefighting, photography, automobile basics to basic economics-studying the market and balancing a check book are all being explored.
