Welcome
At Dayton Christian School, we boldly proclaim a Christian worldview in all that we do. We seek to prepare our students for life by providing strong, Christ-centered, Biblically-based academics, a full spectrum of athletics, excellent fine arts, and a multitude of service opportunities. Along the way, our students are impacted daily by our “living curriculum” – our faculty and staff living out their own walk of faith before them. As a result, our students learn to seek God’s truth for their own lives. A DCS graduate is prepared for college or the career world and ready to impact their world in a God-honoring way. Learn More
AlumniDC StoriesMichaelClass of 2012If I hadn’t attended Dayton Christian, I wouldn’t have made it to college. I am not really certain I would have the faithful foundation that I have now. The experiences that I had at Dayton Christian are priceless, and I’m thankful to the Lord and to everyone in the DC family who invested in me.

ParentsDC StoriesThe Simons FamilyParentsWhy did you choose DC?
When my daughter and I visited DC, we knew this was where God wanted us. The atmosphere of prayer and worship was evident as soon as you walked through the door. We were very happy with the choice of classes and the school’s commitment to have Christ reflected in all they do. Read MoreEven in math class, prayer starts the lesson. God is in each lesson no matter the subject. Teachers are interested in the prayers and concerns of their students. It is a beautiful thing for a child to be able to go to their English teacher and ask for prayer.

SPOTLIGHT ON DC MUSICAL ARTS. 🎵🎵 We are thrilled to have talented faculty who teach our students to “Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord”! Let’s take a peek into some music classes and see what has been going on this week:
🎺High school concert band is engaged and... working hard. There are 2️⃣4️⃣ rehearsals until their first performance on October 20, and Mr. Greenwalt is preparing them well. You can also catch the 🚩DC Marching Band and Color Guard 🚩at every home varsity football game, including September 23, September 30, October 7 (Homecoming) and October 14.
🎤The junior high worship team have been practicing for Thursday’s chapel, and today they did it outdoors! It’s such a blessing to walk through our courtyard and hear students praising the Lord!
🎶Christmas may be a little over three months away, but Mrs. Schick already has our elementary students learning the songs they will be performing. Don’t be surprised if you hear your student humming some holiday tunes as they prepare for this year’s Christmas concert.
☝️👋💪Mrs. Weldon is teaching our kindergarteners to sing and sign American Sign Language simultaneously.
🥁In preschool, Mrs. Frye is helping our little ones learn about fast and slow musical rhythms by having them move their bodies to the speed of the music they hear.
We so appreciate our amazing musical arts teachers!
