The Middle School at DCA offers an outstanding track to prepare students for success in high school. The foundation of our middle school program is the five core subjects: English Language Arts, Mathematics, Bible, History and Science. These are supported by our auxiliary courses which include Spanish, Music, Art, Health, Technology, Physical Education, and Study Skills. Our Middle School offers opportunities for development in leadership through the National Junior Honor Society. Our extra-curricular activities provide our students opportunities for growth in acting, drama production, music and other forms of art, as well as athletics. Our teaching, which springs from a Christian world view, equips our students to successfully face the challenging realm of high school and beyond.
