APPLICATION

Please download this records request and submit it to your child's current school. (This applies to all 1st - 8th grade applicants). Instructions for submission are listed on the form. DCS must receive all records in order for your application to be considered.

This form does not apply to students applying to Kindergarten.

Complete our online application here. We are enrolling all grades (K through 8th) for the 2024-2025 school year. Although we still have limited spots in all grades, classrooms are filling up quickly, so please start the application process today.

DCS is a K-8th grade, accredited, covenant Christian school. This means everyone on our Board, our faculty, and our staff is a professing Christian. Each of these individuals is required to agree in writing to our Statement of Faith, and to our Employee/School Covenant. In like manner, for a student to be considered for admission to our school, we require at least one parent living with that child to be a professing Christian. In the application process, the parent must agree to our Statement of Faith, and to our Parent/School Covenant.

During the application process, you will be required to submit a letter of referral from the applicant's most recent Teacher/School Director. Click here for the Teacher referral template that is required. Letters for applicants in grades 2nd-8th should specifically address readiness for Math and English (if Math and English were taught by different teachers, you may submit 2 separate letters). 

If a DCS application is approved, the next step is for a student to join us on campus for a shadow day, including a time for an online academic assessment. This shadow day visit aims to ensure your child is academically, developmentally, and socially ready to succeed in the application grade. DCS will schedule your child's shadow day as soon as possible after your application is submitted.

The final step in the application process is a parent meeting. At least one parent is required to meet with us so that we may gain a better understanding of you and your family and so you may learn more about our school. This meeting can occur on the same day as the student shadow day or at a different time.
