International Student Life

Dorm life is a fun and exciting part of the Dublin Christian Academy experience. Both dormitories are staffed by a dorm supervisor who lives on site. They will hold group devotional times, make sure students go to bed and wake up at a certain time, prepare meals for students, and transport students to stores so that they can get any items they may need. Additionally, our dorm supervisors organize recreational dorm activities such as bowling, shopping, movie nights, and pizza parties.

​​

In order to fulfill the mission of our school, we require all dorm students to attend Mountain View Bible Church, which is located directly on our school campus. Students are expected to go to church every Sunday for Sunday School, morning service, and evening service. ​​ Dorm students who go home on the weekend are also expected to attend church with their family.

Currently, DCA has two single sex dormitories. Each dormitory has shared bathroom and kitchen facilities. Students can relax, watch movies, do group studies, and enjoy other recreational activities in the dormitory lounges. In addition, each dorm room has one to two beds, two closets, and a desk. 

 

Breakfast is self-service in the dorms each morning. Lunch and dinner are provided on a daily basis by our kitchen staff. Coin-operated washers and dryers are also available to students.
