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.

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.
