Beyond Core Academics
There are a lot of special opportunities for students at St. Paul Lutheran School. From fine arts to dramatic theatre, we seek to develop more than just core academics.
Our School Band
Band for both beginners and experts
St. Paul offers a band program for students in grades 5 – 8, where students may choose from brass, woodwind and percussion instruments. Each student receives a weekly music lesson on the instrument. The band meets together once per week.
Beginning band students have a semester of lessons before joining the large group. Band students will perform in two concerts throughout the year and will also attend the Georgia-Florida Lutheran Music Festival. There is an additional annual fee for band
Prospective Band students and their parents must complete a Band Contract and return it to the front office.
Music Classes All Week
Instilling love for music in our students
Our elementary music program uses an active music curriculum for children. This eclectic curriculum is organized by grade level and presented chronologically with each grade building on musical skills. This logical progression is educationally sound and developmentally appropriate using nursery rhymes, folk songs, literature, traditional children’s games and dances. Using the Orff Schulwerk and Kodaly approach to reading rhythm and melody, the curriculum supports the National Standards for Arts Education.
Our middle school fine arts program includes both beginner and advanced band, as well as a Jubilate Choir led by the music director, Nicolas Harding.
