ESTABLISHED in Christ. PREPARED for life.

SCHOOL EXPERIENCE

Your child will experience a loving and encouraging school community at Dunwoody Christian School. Because we boast a low student-to-teacher ratio, our teachers will know your child personally and be able to provide him or her with a high degree of individual attention.

Who is DCS?

We offer our students a safe and exceptional classroom experience that is rigorous, encouraging, challenging, and attuned. We believe the process of learning and discovery should be exciting and fun. At DCS, we cultivate robust and engaging curricula that are student-led.


Because we are a covenantal school, your child, their teachers, and their peers will all share a common commitment to Christian values and behavior. This allows our school to create a harmonious and mutually encouraging class atmosphere based on Christ’s love and Christian principles.


Our goal is to establish Christ-like character in your child. Therefore, all lessons are taught from a biblical worldview. Our weekly chapel service provides our students with a meaningful opportunity for worship and personal interaction with God.

Although spiritual and academic growth is our highest priority at DCS, we strive to provide social and emotional development in a Christ-centered environment. Research indicates that children need play and physical activity to increase cognitive maturation. Accordingly, our students have recess and classroom brain breaks each day. They also attend PE twice a week.
