I love how my school cares every single student at school. We have amazing teachers who provide students the best quality of teaching and staffs who are always working on school development. We offer a lot of opportunities to students to improve their academic and social skills. Our school is not just focused on academic level. My school is working on increasing students' spiritual level so that they can be ready for their future.

DCA has been a great and firm foundation not only for our children but our family. We are so thankful for the loving and caring teachers and staff that truly care for our children as an extension of our family. My kids enjoy learning and growing in their faith. And love the many extra curricular events they.

DCA is the best thing that happened to our family. We have 3 kids that went through the public school system and then we sent our last one here because we were so disappointed in those schools. One of our daughters can barely read or write and yet they graduated her from school. Another daughter ended up dropping out and my oldest son was not encouraged at all. Here at DCA parents are involved in every aspect. The teachers are caring and help the kids until they get it however long it takes. All kids play on the sports teams so no one is left out. There is respect from kids to teachers and lifelong christian relationships. My son has been accepted into 3 colleges so far. I only wish I would have sent all my children here. There is financial aid for parents who cannot afford the tuition. Send them here and you will not be sorry. Wonderful well rounded kids come out of this school

The students didn't miss out on having a quality education and for those that preferred online l...

I strongly recommend DCA, because they welcome you with open arms and most importanly they teach you The WORD, they teach you how to be a follower of Christ. I came to this school in second grade, and I have never thought of changing schools.

If you are any sort of minority, do NOT go to DCA. DCA is a school full of close-minded students and teachers do not fight the bullying that results. I left to go to a different high school where students were welcoming and certain skills were expected.(but never taught at DCA) Overall, DCA was a qu...
