Enjoy this video recap of Homecoming 2021!
DC PROMISE
Early Childhood Center
Ages 2 - Kindergarten
WE BELIEVE in educating the whole child. Our youngest learners develop a sense of awe and wonder for God’s created world which fosters a life-long love of learning.
Lower School
Grades 1- 5
WE BELIEVE children are naturally curious. We strive to capture that sense of wonder at every developmental stage as students learn about the world and their place in it.
Middle School
Grades 6 - 8
WE BELIEVE the middle school years hold unique opportunities to nurture students as they develop spiritually, physically, socially and emotionally toward the goal of impacting their world through biblical thought and action.
Upper School
Grades 9 - 12
WE BELIEVE the Upper School division not only prepares students for the next level of education, but for life.

But how, in a culture that is divided and facing multiple challenges, does the DC community demonstrate these qualities? DC's Head of School, Dan Steinfield reflects on this timely issue.
