Academy of Fine Arts & Character

The Academy of Fine Arts and Character (AFAC) believes that the arts are a foundation for human expression.

We also believe that through a Christian environment with instructors of faith, children and adults may best experience and achieve their desired level and quality of performance in their chosen art discipline. The highest goal is the utilization of their art form as a vehicle to worship God.

AFAC is built on the need for an arts curriculum based on faith and excellence that results in outstanding art instruction and character with a teaching staff who exemplify and value these qualities. All instructors have been interviewed, have a faith base, have had a background check through OSBI, and have been declared to be a master teacher in their art and skill set.

Academy Director

Alyssa Burnett serves as the Director of the Academy, as well as the KINDERMUSIK Instructor. She graduated from Oklahoma Baptist University in 2005 with a Bachelor’s in Music Education. Alyssa says, “Kindermusik has become my avenue for teaching my daughter, and other little ones how to love music and love life. I love to see the eagerness, energy, and passion on their faces as they discover life through music!”

Academy Board

These individuals are truly working board members, personally helping to facilitate and proctor both our teachers and their students.
