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.
S T E A M
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.

Morning greetings are a staple around here! ☀️
Whether it’s a high five or a "good morning" by name, Mr. B makes sure every student starts their day feeling seen. This tradition was started years ago by Mrs. Brewer, and we’re so proud to see that same legacy of care continuing today.
It’s not just a routine. It’s the heartbeat of our community.

Mrs. Brewers greetings and smile changed many days for the better for myself and granddaughters.
These kids are definitely loved and cared for at Dayspring Academy!! First class education combined with a wholesome bible based environment. I’m so thankful for the school and its entire staff.
We appreciate this estsblished practice. Mr. B's (and other staffs) morning greeting brings a smile to both students and parents faces each day. Even when kiddos like mine are half awake and tired. 😉
And... we’re back! 🎒☀️
It’s so good to see all those smiling faces walking through the doors this morning. We hope your Spring Break was exactly what you needed to recharge for the rest of the school year.
