DCS is an amazing school. My children attended for 4 years, spanning Pre-K through 3rd grade. The staff are genuinely some of the best people I've ever met, and the teachers put all of their hearts into the work they do. I was impressed with the way the students treated one another and the respect and joy I saw in everyday interactions.

Delaware Christian School is amazing! The teachers and staff truly love the kids and the whole school feels like family. The biblical integration in the classroom is wonderful and there is such a good balance between academics and extracurriculars/teaching life skills. I cannot say enough positives about the school. It's worth every penny spent!

Due to moving around the country, our children have been involved in four different Christian schools and Delaware Christian is the best. The academics are top notch, the athletics are challenging and character building, the students are kind and respectful, the parents are welcoming and down to earth, and the faculty are loving and compassionate. It has been such an easy transition for our family. We love the focus and direction the school is heading and would recommend it for any family who is looking for a well balanced Christian education.

I just want to share a few words about Delaware Christian School. My involvement in Christian education as both a teacher and a parent spans nearly 40 years, the last 17 of which have revolved around Delaware Christian School. Currently, my husband and I have two grandsons enrolled there: one in kindergarten and one in high school. We have been so blessed to be a part of this school for so long. Over those 17 years we have watched as teachers go the extra mile not only to meet the academic needs of all their students but, more importantly, as they have striven to minister to the spiritual needs of those same students. The administrators, teachers, and support staff work in unity to accomplish the school's mission statement: Delaware Christian School partners with parents and students to promote academic excellence while developing lifelong learners who embrace a biblical worldview. I have been humbled by the level of dedication to and love for the students demonstrated by all staff involved there. I have no hesitation giving them the thanks they deserve and in praising the Lord for the way He continues to bless the ministry going on at Delaware Christian School.

We have three kids at Delaware Christian: 7th, 9th and 11th. We started with my oldest in Kindergarten, so we're in our 12th year. We love the school! The student/teacher ratio is great and strong Christian worldview is taught in all subjects. The administration is thoughtful and cares a great deal about each child's development: academically, socially and spiritually. Like every family with a bunch of kids, it can get messy, but the hearts are true and my kids would not want to be anywhere else. My favorite part ... by far, the families! Love, love, love DCS families!! Come check it out!!

We have two boys that have attended Delaware Christian School since they both were school aged. We chose Delaware Christian for their strong academics and student to teacher ratio. In addition, it was essential that our boys be taught how to live a Christian life with Jesus in their hearts. We recommend that you take the time and visit our school. You will be glad you did!
