Dayton Christian School partners with Christian families to provide a seamless transition from values being taught in the home to those being taught in their classroom. Please take a moment and read our Admissions Policy, Mission, Purpose & Core Values and Statement of Faith. Among other things, we require that at least on parent/legal guardian is a born-again believer, that an applying family is involved in a Bible-teaching church, and that the applying student is in good behavior and academic standing. Please know that we make our admissions decisions carefully with the end goal of making sure that your family is served well within the walls of DCS.
Before you start an application, we would love to meet you! Please come to one of our Admissions Events or schedule a personal tour. You can do so by contacting our office at tel: (937) 291-7218 or emailing us at [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you and guiding you through the application process.
