WE TEACH WHAT WE BELIEVE
AND BELIEVE WHAT WE TEACH.
Decisions about your child's school are among the most important you will ever make. Children are so easily influenced by the world around them. When children learn and grow in a climate of strong Christian values and a faith-based curriculum, they are better able to be “their own person” instead of mindlessly conforming to the “pop culture” of the day.

> Children are greatly influenced by their teachers.
> Children spend more hours during the day with their teachers than with their parents.

Students attending DCA interact daily with mature Christian role models that are able to freely communicate Faith-based values.
     Jesus stated that... “A pupil is not above his teacher, but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher.” —Luke 6:40

TODAY IT IS HARDER THAN EVER
TO RAISE FAITH-BASED CHILDREN.
If God is ignored or His existence is denied in the classroom, children quickly adopt an attitude that God is either non-existent or has nothing to do with their lives.
     In dramatic contrast, DCA not only provides a high quality academic education, it also integrates a Christian view of God and the world into all its curriculum.
     DCA assists parents by reinforcing, not weakening or ignoring, the Christian parent's values and beliefs.
DCA PREPARE KIDS
FOR THE REAL WORLD.
DCA helps students prepare for life by providing an education that includes knowledge of the Bible and structured time in prayer, along with an excellent academic education.
     Some parents worry that Christian schools shelter children from the real world and that after a Christian elementary education the children may not be able to cope with the "culture shock" they will experience when they enroll in a public high school or university.
     This serious concern lies at the heart of the difference between a Christian and non-Christian school. If the "real world" is one in which children are exposed to the devastating influences of drugs, violence and immorality then Christian schools unashamedly admit to sheltering students.
     “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Paul (the Apostle)
There is not a single scripture that instructs anyone to expose themselves to sin in order to become desensitized to it.
