I went to DSA for my senior year of high school, but the students and staff all made me feel like I had been a part of the school's community for much longer. Each of the teachers were attentive to the specific needs of every individual student and left me with more tools for success than I could have hoped for. I will always be grateful for being able to leave high school knowing I had a group of people who were rooting for me!

The teachers and faculty at DSA helped me understand many challenging subject areas and explore my full potential. I am thankful to have had many unique experiences in high school that prepared me well for my future in college. Go shires!

Middle & High School Student Focus Week is wrapping up today!
At DSA, we intentionally begin the school year by setting our students up for success. Throughout Student Focus Week, students complete diagnostic assessments, learn classroom expectations, and meet one-on-one with their teachers to review their results, discuss strengths and areas for growth, and establish goals for the year ahead.
This intentional start allows our teachers to better understand each student and create a strong foundation for a successful school year.
Enjoy some photos from the week that will give you a behind-the-scenes look at Student Focus Week in action!
I was so excited to hear all about this from Lilyana! Such an awesome way to set them up for success!
I love this!!
As we begin a new school year, we'd love for you to join us as we cover our students, teachers, staff, and families in prayer.
Feel free to leave a Bible verse, or words of encouragement in the comments.
Together, let's pray for a year filled with wisdom, growth, friendships, and God's faithfulness.
I have two teenagers who have been at Dayspring their entire academic life. 💙💛💙💛 One of them is a sophomore and he is coming up on some of life’s big decisions. Psalms 37:5-7 “Commit your way to the YHWH; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun. Be still before YHWH and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.”
Proverbs 3:5,6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path.
Heavenly Father, fill Dayspring Academy with your presence this year. Grow the students in knowledge, wisdom, and their relationships as only You can. Give the faculty and stuff the patience, wisdom, and endurance they need to guide our school "into the way of peace". Thank you for your blessings already! Amen.
God cover each student as they continue their educational journey. God we also thank you for the calling each teacher and administrator answered to pour into our children with compassion, love, and dedication. We thank you for the amazing year ahead and growth that will happen from the seeds planted. Amen 🙏
