Christian Leadership at DCA
September 2025
Providing a good, Christian education goes beyond the textbook. At DCA, we are training children to be the leaders of tomorrow. The training they receive at DCA will help them enhance personal growth, put their faith into practice, and gain a better understanding of service.
This article will cover leadership from the perspective of the greatest example of a servant leader,: Jesus Christ, and how Dublin Christian Academy encourages its students to emulate His characteristics as a leader.
August 2025
When it comes to attending a private, Christian school, no other barrier is as relevant as the cost of tuition. Even with generous support from community donors and various fundraisers held throughout the year at DCA, some families still feel that managing tuition costs is just out of their grasp.
Fortunately, that has changed over the last few years.
Why DCA Requires School Uniforms
July 2025
School uniforms. They are a hot topic, not only in private schools but also among a handful of public schools that have adopted their use.
This article will examine the ins and outs of uniform policy, commonly discussed pros and cons of uniforms, and why we at Dublin Christian Academy decided to institute them.
Running for the Athletics Program
June 2025
The Stag Stampede is a summer 5K running (and walking) event that serves as a fundraiser for DCA’s athletics program. It breathes an energetic life back into our typically sleepy campus during the off-season, serving participants with a day filled with physical feats, friendly competition, and maybe a snack or two at a food booth.
Blessing Those In Need
May 2025
Each year, Dublin Christian Academy participates in Service Day, a day on which our staff and students can give back to the community that supports us in many ways.
This year, we had the joy of serving refugees who have been resettled in New Hampshire. But rather than have us share this heartwarming experience with you, we are handing over the writing reins to one of our students, Joel Hill. He was completely immersed in this year’s project and has much to say about displaying Christ’s love through our service as we lead the lost to Him.
DCA's Take on Public Speaking
April 2025
Speech is a powerful tool. It has the power to lift others up or to tear them down. It can be used to praise or scold, speak truth or lies, sway others to follow, or drive them away. We use speech to convey our love to others.
Read on to discover the importance of public speaking, how our students learn to develop it, and how we compete with schools throughout New England to show others how we can talk the talk.

How DCA Teaches a Biblical Worldview
January 2025
When we hear “worldview,” we may assume it is a lofty term reserved for philosophers, religions, and nations’ governing bodies. But the truth is, we all have our own worldview.
Simply put, a worldview is a framework of beliefs, values, and assumptions through which we see the world. It is how we perceive reality and make daily decisions based on those perceptions. It affects how we relate to God and others, and how we view success, challenges, suffering, and how we define our life’s purpose.
December 2024
Not too long ago, it was generally assumed that every high school graduate would pursue higher education.
A college degree certainly does have many benefits. Students have incredible resources at their fingertips to grow intellectually and gain the necessary education as they prepare for specialized careers. College exposes students to a world that is beyond their personal context, and they develop skills that teach them to live independently and be community leaders. College is a career path we highly encourage here at DCA—but not necessarily for everyone.
