Who We Are
DSA, founded in 2006, is an interdenominational Christian school offering a well-rounded academic program. As a Dayspring Shire, students apply Godly attributes and Christian morals in the classrooms, hallways, on courts and fields while excelling in engineering, computer science, audio engineering, theater, and much more. Dayspring is not just a school – but a family with a dedicated faculty ready to serve.

At Dayspring students are equipped with the necessary tools to pursue careers in a variety of programs beginning as early as kindergarten. Whether a student dreams of becoming a civil engineer, mathematician, attorney, surgeon, or a computer programmer – Dayspring students are provided with the background to fulfill these dreams while allowing students to become familiar with each field.
Dayspring is a vision of the late Elder Bob C. Hardin and a mission of the middle Tennessee community, a welcoming Christian environment for young people to strengthen time-honored character attributes by receiving a top-notch education.
Students have 50+ hours of college credit through AP, CLEP, and dual enrollment courses available at DSA.

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 🙏
