DUNNVILLE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
DCS is a place where your child will be guided, nurtured and challenged to grow in their love for the Lord, for the world that He has created and given opportunities to demonstrate their growth in a variety of ways. We appreciate the time and effort that parents give in prayerfully considering Christian education for their children.
Established in 1958, DCS is rooted in, and continues to teach from, a Reformed perspective. Today, DCS welcomes and includes families from many different denominations, united in the pursuit of training God’s children.
What makes DCS a Christian school? We have Ontario certified teachers who are trained to teach from a Christian perspective with a Christian School Teacher’s Certificate. Our curriculum meets Ontario Ministry of Education standards, but is taught
through the foundational lens of Scripture.
We believe that Jesus is the reason we are a Christian school. It is not based on our goodness or ability, but what the Lord has done for us. Through His life, death and resurrection, Jesus Christ has made the way for us to be saved. It is our belief in the good news of Jesus Christ and complete reliance on this gospel truth that we seek to live out the call to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and to love others as ourselves.
As the body of Christ, we humbly accept the call to train up children in the fear of the Lord and to go and make disciples. Every day is full of opportunity to grow in our understanding and knowledge of God, His world, ourselves, and our role in God’s story of redemption and restoration. We pray together in class, we meet for chapel to sing and praise the Lord and we work on service projects to help in our community. We are learning to live a life of love each day to prepare us for a future with Christ for all eternity.
Our mission and vision gives clarity and focus as we journey on this path of Christian education. We pray you will join us on this challenging and rewarding journey!
