Welcome to Dayspring Christian Academy. With over 30 years of faithfulness in educating children and youth in Biblical, Christ-centered education, Dayspring continues to serve Christian parents who are seeking to fulfill the Biblical mandate (see Deuteronomy 6, Proverbs 22:6 et. al.) to educate their children in God's truth.

Investment in Relevant Education: Christian education is an investment that pays eternal dividends, and equips students to have a positive impact on their culture here, both now and in the future. Is this just hopeful thinking? Definitely not! I can personally testify to the dividends of a Christian school education. I was enrolled in a Christian school over five decades ago. Who could have foretold in the 1950s the amazing cultural and geo-political changes that this young first grader would face, the positive technological developments and the devastating decline in the culture? Although, in my Christian school education, the academics were rigorous, and that did serve a good purpose, I was equipped to face those challenges and changes, not first and foremost by a superior academic education, but by having all the teaching grounded in Biblical truth. Science textbooks are typically obsolete in less than a decade. But God's truth is always reliable and always relevant.

Vision: The vision of Dayspring is as apt as it is succinctly stated: Christ-centered Education. An education that is Christ-centered is an education that will always be relevant.

Mission: The mission of Dayspring is: Equipping the heart, soul, mind, and body of each student, from a biblical perspective, in partnership with the Christian home . A Christ-centered education will always be a rigorous education, as we are taught in Colossians 3:23, "And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men." Academics, music, drama and physical education/athletics are pursued with a passion that is rooted in eternal truth.

Teachers: The teachers of Dayspring Christian Academy are qualified professionals. Their training and credentials meet the stringent requirements of accreditation. They serve not only as educators, but also as mentors and role models. And, yes, what we do in our personal lives does matter, because we are mentoring impressionable youth. Teachers are motivated and challenged to excel when they read Luke 6:40, "A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher."

Parents: Christian parents, there is no greater challenge or goal than to instill your cherished Biblical faith and values in your children. A couple hours of church and Sunday school, as vitally important as they are, may be overshadowed by the 30+ hours per week of education in a classroom that is not Christ-centered. Sacrifice now to invest in a Christ-centered education for your child. It is an investment that will bear dividends in this life and for eternity. Ephesians 6:1 challenges fathers to, "bring up (their children) in the training and admonition of the Lord."
