As a parent, I was ready to have my children in a school where the teachers and staff reiterate the same guidance and moral values that they hear at home. I love that my children's heart and souls are being fed first, so that they can reach their potential academically! My children are able to be who God created them to be and they have the opportunities to participate in all the activities they love!

Dayspring gives a "Christ-centered" education like no other. I graduated from Dayspring and have chosen to enroll my own child there after researching other schools in the area. I have found that there is no comparison with any other school spiritually or academically. The teachers care about the success and lives of each student, and that is something you can't find in some schools.

I love Dayspring!! I am a mother that was so tired (and scared to be honest) of the public school system. I didn't even know Dayspring was an option until a friend told me about it. No Common Core Curriculum to deal with and best of all my kids LOVE school, now! When they are happy, I am Happy! We should have come sooner, high academics and most of all they love my children and my children are loving others! It truly is like a family.

My daughter has attended Dayspring Christian Academy for 11 years. Dayspring provides a caring environment, Christ-centered education, academic rigor, and the teachers & staff are phenomenal! We are so proud of the young woman our daughter has become.

I just want to say that Dayspring has been a blessing to our family, our sons self esteem has blossomed since being here, the teachers and well the entire staff really has been so positive and welcoming. I finally feel like our son is going to get the best education along with real christian values!
