Practical Arts

At Shalom, Family Consumer Science classes focus on giving the students the opportunity to learn basic practical skills such as sewing and cooking which teaches them to be self-sufficient, to gain an understanding of how to healthily sustain themselves, to be creative and resourceful with their given resources, and to obtain an appreciation for the day to day tasks. 

These classes provide opportunities for students to build and hone their practical skills through hands on projects and to allow students to use their training for real life circumstances.

At Shalom, our goal is to provide ample opportunities for students to learn computer technology and gain the skills necessary to create and contribute, not just use and consume, in the digital economy, and to be actively engaged as biblically informed citizens in our complex, technology-driven world. Through projects and classroom activities that require collaboration and communication, students will obtain technical skills and knowledge needed to pursue any field of study, be exposed to a variety of STEM concepts and ideas needed to develop or create new technologies, creatively solve problems, and gain an understanding of how technology supports the advancement of every field/profession, including STEM, arts, Biblical ministry, personal health, and other areas that are not inherently IT-based.
