What Is the DCA Difference?

Testimonials From Those Who Know Us Best

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

 

Every month, you hear from us as a school, informing our readers about all the happenings here at DCA. This month, we’re trying something a bit different: we’re shining the spotlight on … you!

 

Using social media, direct requests, and surveys, we contacted our DCA family—alumni, parents, and students—to ask how DCA has impacted their lives. We were excited by the response! Keep reading to see what Dublin Christian Academy means to those who know us best.

 

DCA Alumni Look Back with Found Memories

Our alumni have gone out into the world and flourished in the roles God has called them to do. From missionaries to software developers and ministers to farmers, DCA alumni are serving their communities worldwide while serving the Lord.

 

Here are a few testimonials below from our past students on what DCA meant to them:

 

“Before coming to DCA, I knew what it was to be a Christian, but through chapel services, Bible classes, GRO Groups, and just classes in general, I learned what it meant to have a relationship with Jesus, how to live it, and how to be complete in Christ our Savior.” —Lacey (2022 Alumna)

“I thank the Lord for allowing me to attend DCA for 2 1/2 years. Every teacher, staff member, and student became like family to me. God knew I would need the lessons I would learn there to one day wake me up from going in the wrong direction with my life. May the Lord continue to use DCA for His Glory!” —Sandi (Alumna)

 

“I was pushed to excellence in areas I never would have expected coming from my public school background. The quality of instruction and expectations were high in academics, music, public speaking, spiritual leadership and ministry, and socially. I could go on and on about how DCA is about ‘the whole person’ but can’t leave out that the staff tries their best to be loving and kind and fair and paramount examples, even in the midst of dozens of teenagers.” 

—Andrew (Alumnus)

Parents Who Knew DCA Was the Right Choice

Our students’ journeys at DCA usually begin with their parents’ curiosity and the question, “I wonder if DCA is a good fit for our family?” Over the years, parents have recognized and appreciated the difference they see in a DCA education. 

 

Read how parents—many with multiple children attending DCA—have experienced what makes our family so special to theirs:

“Teachers who invest in the hearts of each individual student. Their focus is on eternal impact, not just on academics. Our kids have had so much love and support over our years of being part of the DCA family.” —Rebecca (Current Parent)

“I appreciate the connection of students, faculty, and families that flows through both upper and lower school like a big, extended family. One of my favorite parts of school concerts is seeing all the grades singing together. Thank you for teaching all my kids, even my older boys, to sing! That’s something you do not see often! Now, they’re willing and able to sing in our church choir.”

—Elizabeth (Current Parent)

 

“Our experience at DCA has been nothing short of amazing. Our girls love the closeness of the school community, from teachers to students. Their favorite part is having bigs! I love that even the youngest and oldest students get to form connections. I also appreciate the truly caring connections all the faculty seem to have with students and their families. It’s truly the Dublin Difference!” —Jennie (Current Parent)

 

“I’m very thankful for all the help DCA has been providing for my family and I. It’s a joy to know we are in the midst of a family with one mind and one heart for Christ so that the things my husband and I have been teaching them at home are being reinforced at school. What a blessing!” —Iris (Current Parent)

Without Further Ado…Our Students!

As we celebrate our 61st year as a Christian school, we still have students enrolling and filling our halls and sanctuary while filling their hearts and minds with the Gospel. 

 

Read how our students here today benefit from a school that nurtures them holistically, going beyond the academics and reaching them where they are in their walk:  

“Last year, God gave me the wonderful opportunity to come to this school, which is full of the Lord’s love. As an international student, English is not my first language, but the teachers at DCA didn’t give up on me and worked hard behind the scenes to help me improve my English. With the support of my classmates and teachers around me, I have slowly adapted to the learning environment.” —Priscilla (Current International Student)

 

“I think Dublin Christian Academy is different because of the community.  It is an extremely uplifting and exciting community. The people here have become like family to me, and I know I will have built lifelong relationships here.” —Rachel (Class of 2025)

 

“One unique thing about DCA is the teachers and how they are willing to talk to you. If you are struggling spiritually in life and have questions, you don’t have to be afraid of a teacher turning you away. You can always find someone to talk to at DCA. The campus of DCA is very wide, and this allows for many fun activities to be played. From Winter Bible Conference to Harvest Fest, to simply walking around, there’s a sense of openness and a variety of places one can go.”

—Joel (Class of 2025)

DCA Through the Generations

With over six decades of growing hearts, minds, and souls in our community, God’s impact through our little school has touched many generations, with more to come. 

 

We hear a resounding theme from parents and students past and present: DCA is like a second family to everyone involved in our ministry. Our mission has always extended beyond textbooks; we strive to nurture every facet of our students’ lives. 

 

Please contact us if you and your family want to experience the DCA difference. Come and see what the Lord is still doing in our corner of the Monadnock Region.

 

We’ve been training up the children in each and every generation in the way they should go…but you don’t have to take our word for it.
