Excellence in Education
Learn, Love and Lead

Who We Are

DCA was established in 1975 in Northern Colorado with the goal of providing a top-tier Christian education based on biblical principles. We are accredited by both ACSI and Cognia, and we are committed to partnering with Christian parents to educate and prepare students from Pre-K to 12th grade. We can assist your child in learning, growing, and thriving in a community that prioritizes academic excellence and spiritual development.

Our Philosophy

A child is created in the image of God, but they also inherit man’s sinful nature. Therefore, to become the person God intends them to be, they must accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and they must be trained and nurtured in the Light and the Truth, which is the Word of God. 

Train a child in the way they should go, and when they are older, they will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6)

Parents

As primary caregivers, parents hold the responsibility for their child’s education and spiritual development. Your involvement is essential in fostering a strong learning environment.

Students

We encourage our students to cultivate a desire for learning and spiritual growth. Our expectations include striving for excellence in all studies and activities, showing respect for others, and dedicating themselves to serving the school, church, and community in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Teachers

Our teachers are called to their vocation, equipped both spiritually and academically. They play a crucial role in shaping the minds and hearts of our students.

Head of School

The Head of School serves as the spiritual leader and key visionary for the school. We believe that quality Christian education is achieved through the complete integration of God’s Word into every aspect of school life.

Board Members

Our Board Members are mature Christians who share a vision for Christian education and possess strong leadership qualities.

Employment Opportunities

“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6) 

Our Mission

From a Biblical worldview and in partnership with Christian parents, our mission is to educate the mind and train the heart of each student to serve the world for the glory of Christ. 

We live this out by providing a comprehensive Christian education that promotes academic excellence while nurturing spiritual, physical, mental, and social growth. We view our academy as a God-glorifying extension of the Christian home, dedicated to instilling biblical truths in our students’ hearts and minds. We believe that quality education flourishes through strong partnerships. That’s why we prioritize open communication and collaboration among parents, students, teachers, and staff. Together, we create a supportive community where everyone plays a vital role in nurturing the development of our students.
