The Key to a Well-Rounded Education

“My sons have been at Calvary since 1st grade. The training in the Lord, the academics, sports and fine arts are amazing! They give students such great opportunities to learn and participate in sports and activities. I can’t recommend DCA highly enough!”

Mona, DCA parent

“DCA prepared me for college by teaching me how to manage my time through the University Model design and by showing me how to be a lifelong learner.

DCA also taught me how to be a Christ-like leader in every aspect of my life. I will forever be grateful for the life-long friendships I formed while at DCA.”

Clara, DCA alumni

Athletics

Our athletics programs are designed to develop character and integrity in our students. We believe the practice of biblical principles in the framework of athletic competition will create the discipline needed to live a successful life for Christ. With 25 high school and middle school sports teams, DCA students have ample opportunities to benefit from participation in athletic competition.

We believe that through participation in fine arts, students receive a more well-rounded education and also honor the Lord by developing their God-given talents. DCA’s state-recognized fine arts program includes art, photography, theater, choir, praise band, and other groups taught by gifted instructors who are passionate about developing a love of the arts in their students.

Student activities, including field trips, student government, a HOUSE system, class retreats and clubs, not only provide students with forums to practice leadership skills, explore talents and develop deeper friendships, the also provide the “fun factor” that motivates students to work hard on their academics. Since many of these activities take place off-campus, they also allow our students to be a light for Christ in the greater Denton community.
