Wonder is the desire for knowledge.

We begin each campus day with a school-wide chapel service. Parents are welcome to attend. Bible is incorporated into everything we do at DCA. With a strong emphasis on prayer, accountability to parents, personal Bible reading, teaching students how to study the Bible for themselves, we apply the Word of God into every situation and subject.  

 Elementary K-4 use Calvert Math; 

Elementary 5, as well as Middle through High School use Teaching Textbooks (requires a laptop that students can bring back and forth to school); High Schoolers may also receive instruction from FL Virtual Classes or Dual Enrollment.  

  K-2nd – We use Logic of English Foundations and classic literature read-alouds, as well as early readers sent home by teachers; Upper Elementary focuses on grammar, copywork, and dictation, paired with exciting literature books using curriculum Learning Language Arts through Literature; 

Middle School through High School will have a strong emphasis on rich reading materials (literature books, source materials) accompanied by study guides, class discussions, and writing/research assignments.

Middle School and High School have a new elective each semester. Past electives have been P.E., art, life skills, finances for teens, health, drama and apologetics. 

 We explore history using living books in the Early Elementary years with Beautiful Feet Literature packs. Upper Elementary and Middle School use Masterbooks, and High School uses a combination of Masterbooks and Streams of Civilization. We also use historical literature / source materials / quality films to make history come alive.  

 Our science hour at DCA is filled with hands-on science experiments/labs/nature walks/etc.
