Common Arts Fridays - Grades 2 - 12

At Appomattox Christian Academy, students get their hands dirty. The integration of the Common Arts into our weekly instruction has become essential to our educational philosophy. Recognizing the immense value of practical skills and hands-on learning, we have embraced disciplines such as cooking, animal husbandry, woodworking, agriculture, and more. Students eagerly engage in these activities, as they not only develop essential life skills but also foster a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of different fields of knowledge. Through immersive experiences, students at Appomattox Christian Academy develop a well-rounded skill set, enabling them to thrive in various professional and personal pursuits while fostering a deep connection to God's world all around them.

ACA offers home school families the opportunity to attend Common Arts sessions on Fridays throughout the school year. Students will participate in hands-on sessions in such topics as drafting, sewing, cooking, leather working, animal husbandry, natural remedies, and more. This also includes access to school field trips and events.
