Fine Arts at CLA

K-8 School Choir (Grades K-8)
All students in Grades K-8 participate in this choir, learning praise songs and presenting them several times a year at area churches. This choir also carols at senior centers during the Christmas season. These public performances allow them to share their voices, faith, and joyful enthusiasm for our music program.

Christmas Program (Grades K-8)
In addition to singing at area churches, CLA students participate in a Christ-centered Christmas program in December. Open to parents, families, and church members, this is a fun and meaningful way for students to present the Christmas Story.

Piano Lessons and Recitals (Grades K-12)
Students may enroll in private piano lessons given during the school day. The students then perform their pieces in Fall and Spring piano recitals.

Concert Choir (Grades 9-12)
Our concert choir holds practices during the school day and performs at concerts on campus throughout the year. Concert choir membership is open to all students.

Laudation Bell Choir (Grades 9-12)
Laudation Bells is CLA’s handbell choir, dedicated to enriching worship and celebrating the gift of music. Student ringers perform at school concerts and visit area churches throughout the year, bringing beautiful sacred music to congregations while representing our school community with faith and excellence.

Exaltation Choir (Grades 9-12)
In addition to performing at California Lutheran’s chapels and concerts throughout the year, this traveling choir performs at area churches on Sundays and tours the region. Membership is by audition.

Worship Band (Grades 9-12)
This band plays contemporary Christian music with guitars, bass, percussion, and vocals. Our worship band performs at concerts throughout the school year and tours the region every other year as well as visiting area churches.

Fall Drama Performance (Grades 9-12)
Every fall, California Lutheran students take center stage in our annual production and the whole community is invited for the show. From auditions to opening night, our high school students pour their creativity and hard work into a performance that is anything but ordinary. We also open our doors to children from local grade schools, giving young audiences a front-row seat to live theater.

Spring Musical (Grades 9-12)
Every spring, our talented student vocalists, musicians, and actors come together to put on a musical, open to the whole community. We also host special performances just for local grade school children, bringing the magic of live theatre straight to them!

Drama Classes (Grades 9-12)
Drama is offered as a three-credit course both semesters as an elective. Students will learn the history of drama, as well as performance, set building, lighting, and sound coordination.
