Our School

Living, loving, laughing and learning go hand-in-hand at Dunwoody Christian Academy. We use excellent and effective curricular frameworks (such as The Creative Curriculum) to ensure that your child develops skills for successful living and learning. Reading, language, math, art, motor skills, gift and talent development, emotional and social development, dance, music, computer skills, problem-solving, history and geography are critical components in each child’s educational plan.

Dunwoody Christian Academy

Dunwoody Christian Academy (DCA) is a community school and a ministry of Chapelhill Church. DCA provides a secure, high-quality and nurturing Christian Environment for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years in our Infant, Toddler, Preschool, Private Pre-K and Kindergarten, as well as our After School and Summer Camp programs. We strive to make Dunwoody Christian Academy a model school, not just for the students and families but also for the teachers and staff. Our highest priorities are the safety and security of the children attending our academy. We have webcams installed in our classrooms and group spaces. This allows parents to view their children’s daily activities and to stay connected with daily routines and activities.

Living, loving, laughing and learning go hand-in-hand at Dunwoody Christian Academy. We use excellent and effective curricular frameworks, such as the Creative Curriculum, to ensure that your child develops skills for successful living and learning. Reading, language, math, art, fine and gross motor skills, gift and talent development, emotional and social development, dance, music, computer skills, problem-solving, history and geography are critical components in each child’s educational plan. Extracurricular activities include dance, golf, art and playball. We boast of an extensive recreational area in-house that children utilize when weather necessitates indoor play for Chapel and other special activities.

Dunwoody Christian Academy provides breakfast, lunch and afternoon snacks for preschool students. Our child-friendly menus are USDA-based and rotate every eight weeks. We do not serve pork, very little beef, mainly turkey, chicken, or fish. The children enjoy at least one fresh fruit daily, and we use very few canned foods, primarily new and frozen. DCA limits the processed sugar served at meals and snacks, which includes no-sugar-added natural juices. The children come together to nourish their bodies and souls with healthy food, prayer and friends.

Our focus on Christian values is unique and one of the cornerstones of the Dunwoody Christian Academy curriculum. Your children learn basic Biblical Christian values. However, since we are a multi-faith school, we do not teach church doctrine but rather basic bible principles. Our students attend chapel each week, pray at their meals, and hear bible stories throughout the week.

Experience You Can Count On

Our state of dedicated, nurturing teachers, mentors and support personnel are our number one asset. Each undergoes a rigorous background check and must meet high standards. Each full-time staff member has a CDA (Child Development Associate) or works towards one. Each is also certified in CPR/First Aid and is required to have 10 hours of training each year.
