"We are so grateful for the people and families that came before us and believed in making an impact in our children’ s education without even knowing who they would be. Their vision for furthering the kingdom through Christian education has blessed our family and we feel it is our responsibility and joy to continue that mission. We feel that DMC’s collective investment in equipping minds and nurturing hearts brings unity and connection to our community."
-AJ and Lindsay Morris

Student life at DMC is full of energy and connection — performances on the stage, the roar of the student section, and friendships that grow beyond the classroom. United in Christ, we experience life, faith, and community together.

Thank You Lion Fund!

Sensory Library
The early education sensory library offers young learners hands-on, multi-sensory experiences to encourage movement in constructive ways. Tools in this library include stretchy fidgets, textured fabrics, a velcro board, wobble boards, a stationary bike, and a mini treadmill. Sensory items help focus attention and develop self-regulation skills.

Photography opens up a new opportunity for us as Christians to show the rest of the world that while it still is corrupted by sin, God’s amazing creation is beautiful.

Dardis Communications opened my eyes to how much presentation skills affect first impressions. Practicing real presentations and getting feedback right away from my fellow peers was so beneficial. This wasn’t just another school event, it actually changed how I see myself when I speak.

To our amazement, Lillie was riding without training wheels by day two! She not only learned to ride, but also practiced bike safety and group riding. One of our favorite family activities is enjoying the outdoors together and now Lillie can ride alongside me on my weekend runs.

It was super cool to be able to pass the baton on to the next generation because time flies so fast, and soon they’ll be passing it to their own buddies! I hope Scarlett (‘37) learns to love DMC and its community just as much as I do!

Some young learners do really well with movement added into their learning structure and Karlton loves being active! The sensory library items allow for some breaks in sit time, while still engaging in classroom activities.
