Our daughter attended DC for the first time last year in their PreK3 program. She absolutely loved it and enjoyed getting up every morning to go to school and see her friends and teacher. She learned the months of the year, the days of the week, bible stories, how to spell and write her name, etc.
... Read more She just can't wait to go back for PreK4. It's a pleasure to have our daughter come home and talk about how much she loves her teacher, then to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and sing a new song. I truly feel that she is loved and cared for as much as she loves and cares for her school. It's great to know that she attends a school where her friends are being brought up in Christian homes and with similar values and morals. I hope that she is able to attend through High School.

Our daughter went to DC as a kindergartener and is now a first grader. And she is flourishing! She loves her school and loves learning, so much so that she frequently says she wants to be a teacher at DC and have her own children attend there. DC's academic rigor and superb resources are beautifully

The resources, technology, and wide variety of subjects have resulted in our six-year-old daughter s reading with ease, doing math in her head, and speaking Spanish. She's proficient on the computer and navigates it with ease. She loves science, history, and social studies, and enjoys her music and piano classes. As well, she loves sports and being physically active (basketball, soccer, gymnastics, T-ball). DC is outstanding and we are so pleased to have our child enrolled there. Read less

We have found the academic programs to be average, and that there are not many opportunities in enrichment programs. Given its high cost, I would rate it average. The school seems to way over emphasize its athletics programs, which tends to isolate the children who are not athletically inclined. This
... Read more is a Christian school, but we were surprised by the media (movies and music especially) that the kids were allowed to watch and listen to by their parents. We just got the impression that many (but certainly not all) of the parents who send their children there do it primarily because they want to avoid the public schools, not necessarily because it provides a sanctuary from some the dark sides of secular life. I will say, however, that we felt our child was very safe there, and that the teachers and staff genuinely care for the students and their success. Read less

My 3 children have all attended DC from pre-school through high school. I've been pleased with the academics. I'm most pleased with the fact that in addition to their schooling they received more. They've developed the heart of a servant, and come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. My daughter

My children were able to participate in sports, chorus, mission trips, service groups and still earn college credit while during their junior and senior years. I can't complain about DC. The staff is encouraging, and I've forged some lifetime friendships with many of the other families. Sure there are kids who make mistakes, just like any other school, but watching a student receive support and grace as they strive to improve is one of the best things about the school. Read less

This school really tries to put Christ first in its total program. At the same time it offers excellent academic instruction with most of its graduates receiving substantial scholarships at a variety of universities and its extracurricular programs in sports and the fine arts are superior. The campus
... Read more is beautiful and the facilities are excellent. In spite of the Christian name and emphasis, not all students are perfect angels. However, the overall quality of the student body is superior. My children have received a superior education, developed life-long friends and have been well prepared for college. While they have had experienced the normal ups and downs of growing up, it has been terrific seeing them have so much fun just being part of a great school with lots of friends and wholesome activities to be imvolved in.
