Academic Events
Science Fair
All K-8 students are encouraged to participate in the annual Science Fair where students apply the problem solving skills they learned in class to projects they design. Students gain confidence and knowledge as their curiosity moves from hypothesis to conclusion. Past projects include:
- Why Are Baseball Bats Made Of Wood?
- The Chemistry of Chocolate Chip Cookies
- How Much Space Does Oxygen Occupy?
- The Science of Flight
- Do Name Brands Really Taste Better?
- How Optical Illusions Work
Some school projects have been selected for display at the Ann Arbor Hands-on Museum.
Fine Arts Day
Each spring, Ann Arbor Christian has a Fine Arts Day celebration. This school-day event allows fifth through eighth graders to perform and be critiqued in various arts. Each participant prepares one performance piece and one art or written piece. They also participate in workshops that include dance, cartooning, origami, mime/improvisation, and sculpture.
Book Character Day
We celebrate literature and authors during Book Character Day, when the students and teachers dress up as a character from their favorite book or novel. The day is the culmination of a week devoted to reading, where students are challenged to read as much as possible in order to reach a school goal during a five-day period.
