PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
DCA seeks to offer parents a positive alternative to secular education. The faculty, staff, and
administration at DCA recognizes the need to provide a high quality education, both spiritually and
academically. With this realization, DCA seeks to provide a quality and challenging academic education
taught from a Biblical worldview. The core philosophy of education at DCA is founded on a Biblical
worldview. Thus, it is the philosophy at DCA that a complete education can only be obtained when
taught from a Biblical worldview. The following are the pillars of the DCA philosophy of education.
1. The ministry of teaching: DCA promotes the belief that teaching is a ministry to students and
their families. The act of ministering involves addressing more than simply teaching academic
subjects.
2. Ministering to the whole child: This method of ministering/teaching involves a comprehensive
approach to address the development of the whole child physically, mentally, emotionally,
morally, spiritually, socially, and culturally.
3. Tripod approach: DCA believes in a coordinated educational effort that involves the home, the
school, and the church working together for the good of the student. The focus of this effort is
on the core belief that Jesus Christ is the central aspect in all learning and living. All knowledge
and academic subjects are to be evaluated in light of God's Word, including all extra-curricular
activities.
4. Character training: DCA considers character training, respect, and obedience to be crucial in the
cultivation of self-discipline, which is essential to the emotional, mental, physical, social, and
spiritual well-being of the student.
5. Authority and discipline: DCA believes that the teacher/adult authority figure is to be respected
by all students. When necessary, authority figures at DCA understand that discipline is to be
administered fairly, firmly, and lovingly. In an effort to minimize the need for disciplinary
measures, DCA will strive to instill in each student a love God and others, obedience to God and
the authorities He establishes, and a desire to choose that which is righteous and good in God’s
sight. This will equip them for their individual role in God's plan for their lives, and for their place
in society.
6. Reality: As the personal and purposeful Creator of the universe, God is the ultimate reality.
Reality in education involves helping students come to an experiential knowledge of God.
7. Truth: As Christian educators we take the position that God has revealed Truth to us through
Jesus Christ and the Bible (John 14:6; 17:17; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Colossians 1:25-27).
Revelation has priority over man's reason since man's ability to perceive truth has been affected
by the fall of mankind.
8. Knowledge and Wisdom: Since there is a disparity between earthly knowledge and wisdom, and
spiritual knowledge and wisdom, the Word of God must be the standard by which all knowledge
and wisdom are measured (1 Corinthians 1-2; 7:10-16; James 3:13-18). Recognition of this
principle is vital to the handling of actual information in the curriculum of the school.
STATEMENT OF FAITH
1. DCA believes in that the Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative written Word
of God.
2. DCA believes in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. DCA believes that Jesus Christ was the only begotten Son of God the Father, conceived by the
Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, is both God and man, and will one day
return to Earth.
4. DCA believes that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned, and thereby incurred,
not only physical death, but also spiritual death (which is separation from God), and that all
human beings are born with a sinful nature.
5. DCA believes that the Lord Jesus Christ died for the sins of all people, according to the
scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him as
their Lord and Savior, are justified on the grounds of His shed blood.
6. DCA believes in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, His ascension into Heaven,
and in His personal future return to Earth in power and glory.
7. DCA believes in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling, a true believer in
Jesus is enabled to live a holy life.
8. DCA believes that all, who by faith, receives the Lord Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are born
again, and thereby become children of God.
9. DCA believes is a final judgment in which those who have believed in Jesus as Lord and Savior
will inherit eternal life in Heaven, and in which those who have not believed in Jesus will inherit
an eternal separation from God.
10. DCA believes in water baptism as an outward sign of a belief in Jesus as Lord and Savior.
CORE VALUES
The following are the Biblical values taught at DCA in all areas of school life, both academic and extracurricular:
1. Students are to respect authority and must demonstrate that respect in their words, actions,
and attitudes.
2. The Bible is taught as a core subject and is essential to the academic curriculum.
3. Parents have the prime responsibility for the education of their children, and the Christian
school exists to assist, not replace, parents meet that responsibility.
4. Students need to learn how to process information, apply age-appropriate critical thinking, and
think within the context of a Biblical worldview.
5. Staff and students are committed to academic and spiritual excellence, striving to maximize
each student's God-given potential.
6. Staff and Students are to be involved in fulfilling the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19,20) via
community service and mission opportunities.
7. Christian education provides a means of evangelizing, nurturing, and disciplining students for a
life of service to God and society.
POSITION STATEMENT
Dayspring Christian Academy is open to students and their families who come from a wide range of
experiences and belief in God. Nevertheless, there are some Biblical topics that may be covered at DCA
which are not universally agreed upon by all, even in the Christian church. These topics are the result of
how the South Attleboro Assembly of God/Dayspring Christian Academy interpret Scripture. DCA desires
that you, as parents of DCA students, be aware of the position the school takes in the four areas
mentioned below.
DCA takes the following stance in these specific areas:
1. DCA interprets Scripture to teach Biblical creation over evolution. Genesis 1:1, Romans 1:19-25,
Psalm 100:3
2. DCA interprets Scripture to support the sanctity of life, including life of an unborn child. Psalm
139:13, Jeremiah 1:5, Luke 1:15, 44
3. DCA interprets Scripture to approve of sexual activity only in a marital relationship between a
husband (male) and a wife (female). Exodus 20:14, Galatians 5, Galatians 5:19, I Corinthians
6:18, Leviticus 18:22, Romans 1:27
4. DCA interprets Scripture to be in opposition to various forms of teaching that are considered
“worldly” from a Biblical perspective. A “worldly” teaching perspective formulates from a
philosophy that views all academic subjects, and life in general, from a perspective that
eliminates God from His positon as creator and supreme authority on all subjects. This also
includes teachings that instruct people to obtain special revelations, insights or knowledge
through the use of spirits, séances, horoscopes, Ouija boards, prisms, crystal balls, metaphysical
techniques, imaging, and other similar means. Lev. 19:31, Col 2:8, I John 4:1, Rev. 22:18
GOALS
The goals for DCA include, but are not limited to the following:

FINANCIAL POLICY
Tuition
DCA tuition is collected through FACTS Tuition Management Company. All enrolled families are
required to create a FACTS account to arrange for the monthly collection of tuition payments. All
other fees and school expenses will be collected through Ren Web. Please do not send tuition
payments to school with your child.
Dayspring Christian Academy makes financial and employment decisions based on anticipated
enrollment. When a family withdraws anytime following enrollment and prior to the end of the
school year it causes a hardship on the school. Therefore, non-exemption withdrawals,
withdrawals for reasons other than those stated below, will result in the payment of a full
semester’s tuition after the student has attended any portion of the year. Once a non-exemption
withdrawal has occurred, whether it is the decision of the school or the parent, transcripts will
not be released until the remainder of the tuition owed for the year has been paid in full.
Administration will not be able to grant any exceptions to this policy.
Pre-payments must be made by August 1st, no exceptions or extensions with the discounts.
Fees
All fees (application, enrollment, athletics, field trips, etc.) are non-refundable and nontransferable. No exceptions. A $25 fee will be assessed for all returned checks.
Delinquency
If circumstances occur that force you to delay a payment, please call the school office one week
in advance of due date so that arrangements can be made. When a family account is 30 days
overdue, a $50 fee will be assessed. Contact with the school must be made at that point. When
a family account has reached 60 days in delinquency, and no arrangement for payment has been
made and adhered to, the student(s) continued enrollment will be in jeopardy and may be denied
admittance to DCA immediately after the 60 day delinquency period.
Tuition Assistance
Dayspring Christian Academy (DCA) does offer tuition assistance (scholarship) for qualified
returning DCA families. New student enrollees are not eligible for tuition assistance at this time.
Scholarship is awarded on a financial needs basis. The process of determining tuition assistance
that is needed, and thus the scholarship award, is determined by FACTS Tuition Management
Company. Tuition assistance applications can be obtained on the FACTS website at
www.factsmgt.com. Applications will only be available between January 1st and April 30th. All
applications must be completed by April 30th. Any applications, complete or incomplete, received
after April 30th will not be considered.
Fundraising
Dayspring Christian Academy (DCA) endeavors to keep tuition rates affordable for the benefit of
each parent. For this reason, DCA operates several fund-raising programs and anticipates each
parent's participation in assisting the school in raising the additional funds needed. DCA is a nonprofit organization and maintains a tax-exempt status. The school receives no federal assistance.
Early Withdraw
Exceptions to the payment of a full semester’s tuition are granted for company/military transfers
required to maintain one’s employment or relocation because of the loss of employment. A letter
documenting such a required move will be sufficient proof to waive the payment of a full
semester’s tuition. Exemption requests need to be submitted to the administrator in writing and
may be delivered to the school office at any time.
After the first month’s tuition has been deducted, refunds on tuition paid for a student who has
been withdrawn for an exempted reason will be prorated according to weeks attended and the
remaining weeks in the semester that the student attended. Attendance for one day in any week
will be considered as attendance for an entire week. Since the school operates on a 20-week per
semester calendar, each week attended will equal 1/20th of the semester’s worth of the annual
tuition due plus the first month’s tuition. Refunds will be mailed no later than 30 days after
withdraw from school, provided that all books, school issued athletic equipment/uniforms, and
any other school property have been returned in good condition.
After-care Fees
After/extended care fees are billed monthly. Parents are to check their balance via RenWeb by
the 5th of the every month. Payments are due by the last business day of the month. We accept
cash, check, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa. We do not accept American Express.
Hot Lunch
Hot lunches are ordered a week ahead. We only accept cash or checks for lunches. We do not
make change or give credit. If a child is absent on the day they have ordered lunch, they forfeit
that lunch. Lunches cannot be saved or sent home. All lunches ordered late are $5.00/lunch.

Parent Commitment Form
This commitment signifies an agreement, on the part of the enrolling family, of a partnership with DCA.
The enrolling family agrees to all the responsibilities listed below. The two (family and school) must

3. We agree with moral standards involving student dress, social relationships, separation from
worldliness, and will support all school standards.

an openness to a relationship with Jesus Christ and His church.
Academic Commitment
1. We understand that reflection, critical-thinking skills, creative expression, and practical
application of all academic knowledge must be based upon the truths found in God’s Word and
filtered through a Biblical worldview so that a child can be equipped for success and service in
any area of life.

involved in the academic progress of our child/children.
3. We will commit to assisting our child/children with all homework and extra-curricular practice
and will support all academic practice and activities as assigned by the school.
Practical Commitment
1. We understand that any differences we may have with the administration or teachers must be
handled in a Biblical manner, following Matthew 18:15-17. We commit to diligently seek
equitable and peaceful solutions in all situations where disagreement may occur. Should a
disagreement arise in which a peaceful solution is not found, we commit to following the DCA
Grievance Policy.
2. We will maintain a confidentiality of matters between teachers and administration, not sharing
this information with our child/children or any other individual who is not a part of the problem
or solution.
3. We will keep the school calendar at a position of priority, planning ahead so conflicts can be
avoided.

cover all the operating expenses of the school and will endeavor to help meet the
financial needs of the school by supporting school fund-raisers and with gifts as the Lord
provides and leads.

I agree to uphold and support the high academic standards of the school by providing a
place and time for my student to complete any homework or assignments. I will consult
and cooperate with the teacher(s) in the supervision and encouragement of my student in
their homework responsibilities.

I understand and agree that continued enrollment and re-enrollment of my student in
Dayspring Christian Academy is dependent on my parental support of the school, its
staff, and its policies.

My student and I understand that the administration has all right and authority to remove
my student if, in the judgment of the administration, the student and or family is not in
harmony with the spirit of the school and or honoring this Agreement of Cooperation.

GRIEVANCE COVENANT
Having voluntarily chosen to send my child/children to Dayspring Christian Academy and having agreed
to uphold all its policies and procedures, I will make every effort to maintain a peaceful and harmonious
relationship with its students, parents, volunteers, staff, faculty, and administration by following the
principles set forth in Scripture.
Should there be any concerns, disagreements, or offenses, I will follow those guidelines given in
Scripture and maintain the appropriate confidentiality with those involved and not spread discontent
among others. I agree to make every effort to resolve disputes with each other in private or within the
Christian community in conformity with the Biblical injunctions. Therefore, I agree that any claim or
dispute arising out of, or related to, this agreement or to any aspect of the school or a representative of
the school arising out of school related functions shall be settled by Biblically-based mediation.
(Proverbs 17: 9; Matthew 5: 23-24; Matthew 18: 15-17; Luke 6:31; Luke 17: 3-4; 1 Corinthians 6: 1-8;
Ephesians 3: 20 - 4:3, 1 Timothy 5: 19-20)
If resolution of the dispute and reconciliation do not result from such efforts, the matter shall then be
submitted to a panel of three arbitrators for binding arbitration. Each party to the agreement shall have
the right to select one arbitrator. The two arbitrators selected by the parties shall jointly select the
neutral, third arbitrator. If there is an impasse in the selection of the third arbitrator, the Institute for
Christian Conciliation division of Peacemaker Ministries, Billings, MT [(406) 256-1583] shall be asked to
provide the name of a qualified person that will serve in that capacity. The mediation and arbitration
process shall be conducted in accordance with the “Rules of Procedure for Christian Conciliation”
contained in the Peacemaker Ministries booklet, Guidelines for Christian Conciliation.
The parties agree that these methods shall be the sole remedy for any controversy or claim arising out
of a school related function and each expressly waives their right to file a lawsuit against the other in
any civil court for such disputes, except to enforce a legally binding arbitration decision. Each party,
regardless of the outcome of the matter, agrees to bear the cost of his/her own arbitrator and one half
of the fees and costs of the neutral arbitrator and any other arbitration expenses.
This Grievance Covenant will be in effect whether or not my child/children are currently attending
Dayspring Christian Academy.
I further understand and agree that my relationship with Dayspring Christian Academy is contractual in
nature, and that the DCA administration may terminate the contract for services with me if it is
determined that I have not kept this covenant contained herein.

MIDDLE/HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
All PARENTS and STUDENTS are required to read the Student Code Of Conduct and sign a
statement agreeing to abide by the Student Code Of Conduct. The prohibitions of the Student
Code of Conduct include but are not limited to the examples given because the standards for
the Student Code of Conduct are based on our understanding of the Biblical teachings and
examples lived out in the life of Christ, stated specifically in Ephesians 3-5 and other Scriptural
references. Failure to follow such school policy will be grounds for appropriate disciplinary
action, including suspension or expulsion.
To prevent the consequences of sinful choices the Student Code of Conduct prohibits
Dayspring Christian Academy students from, but is not limited to, the following:
1. Threatening or assaulting another student or staff member
2. Unexcused absences from classes, chapel, or assemblies
3. Cheating, copying or plagiarizing the work of others

5. Profanity, obscenity, or suggestive language or gestures
6. Disruption of classroom activities

lighters, etc., will not be allowed in or on a student's person, backpack, or locker. School
administration has the right to search lockers and backpacks, and will confiscate all such
items found on campus, and disciplinary action may follow
22. Any other conduct which is harmful to the Christian development of the student, as
well as to other students in the school.
Christian life is not a part-time endeavor therefore; this Student Code of Conduct is in
effect the entire time any student is enrolled as a DCA student. This policy is in effect 24
hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. This includes all ON CAMPUS AND OFF
CAMPUS activities.
To ensure the compliance of the above mentioned policies, Dayspring Christian Academy
reserves the right to check any student as well as all personal property voluntarily brought onto
our campus. This includes, but is not limited to, school lockers, bags and/or purses, cell phones
and other electronic devices, and other such areas. Dayspring Christian Academy also reserves
the right to conduct these searches by any means necessary, including the use of trained dogs.
FOR STUDENT: I have read and understand the above Student Code Of Conduct and will
uphold this standard in my behavior and actions as applies on and off the campus. I also
agree to abide by the rules listed in the Middle/High School Policies and Procedures Handbook
and realize that willful disregard for the rules and standards of Dayspring Christian Academy
may result in suspension or dismissal.

INTERNET ACCESS AND ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY FOR STUDENTS
I. STATEMENT OF EDUCATIONAL GOALS - Dayspring Christian Academy (DCA) will provide internet access
to students in order to present educational opportunities not available through printed media. Students will have
access to hundreds of databases, libraries, and computer services all over the world. Access to the internet will
be used in support of education, research and work-related activities only and will be consistent with the goals
and policies of DCA.
Computer use is a privilege, not a right, which will provide diverse educational opportunities. With this
educational opportunity also comes the responsibility to use technology in a manner directed toward Godly aims,
in order to give God His rightful place in our lives. “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good
works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10.
II. STATEMENT OF STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITIES - Computers, networks and Internet resources may be
used only in accordance with the intended DCA policies and practices. Students shall access appropriate internet
content by connecting only to sites specified by the teacher. ONLY middle school students may be granted
permission to search the internet for academic purposes. Examples of inappropriate use of computer and network
resources include:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Sharing user names or passwords
Installing or executing files downloaded from the internet
Damage to, alteration of, or monitoring of data belonging to DCA or other computer network users
Violations of copyrights and software license agreements
Students shall make no attempt to gain or assist unauthorized access to any information or resources other
than their own class work
6. Displaying, viewing or downloading any sexually oriented materials, or any information deemed to be
controversial, unlawful and or offensive, pornographic, racist, or violently oriented materials, regardless of
the format, this includes pictures, text, or files
7. Placing school material (copyrighted software, internal correspondence, etc.) on any publicly accessible
internet computer without prior permission
8. Transmitting threatening, obscene, or harassing material
9. Playing internet games, internet chat sites, accessing any social media, or any other internet activity that is
not in keeping with the intended academic purposes of DCA
10. Using the DCA network or computer systems or resources for illegal purposes
III. MONITORING - Internet and any other use of the DCA computer systems shall not be considered private
and MAY BE MONITORED AT ANY TIME by appropriate DCA personnel to insure appropriate use in
compliance with this policy.
IV. DISCLAIMER - The internet is an association of diverse communication and information networks. It is
possible that your child may unintentionally or accidentally run across inappropriate material. While DCA will
make every reasonable effort to preclude access to such material, with the appropriate internet filtering software
programs, and does not condone such access, it is not possible to absolutely prevent such access. Therefore,
any user who unintentionally or accidentally accesses unsuitable material should immediately stop and notify
their teacher so appropriate measures can be taken to block that information (Ps. 101:3-4; Ps. 119:37).
ACCEPTABLE USE AGREEMENT - I (DCA student) understand that it is my responsibility to follow the
rules for appropriate use, and I understand that any attempt, whether or not successful, to violate the DCA
internet access and acceptable use policy for students will result in severe consequences, which may
include loss of computer privileges, suspension, or expulsion, as deemed necessary by the administration.
I HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND WILL ADHERE TO THE RESPONSIBILITIES CITED IN THE
DAYSPRING CHRISTIAN ACADEMY INTERNET ACCESS AND ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY FOR
STUDENTS.

MEDICATION AND EMERGENCY CARE FORM
Dayspring Christian Academy
Medication/Emergency Care Policy
(This Form MUST BE returned with your enrollment forms)
Medication in school may only be used on rare occasions and then under the following conditions:
1.
Medication of any kind may NEVER be brought to school with the student. Any medication must be
brought to school by the parent or guardian, in its original container. Written permission and instructions for
administration from a physician must accompany medication. Physician’s Order forms are available from the nurse
and must be completed and signed before administered. Inhalers are to be in the nurse’s office, not with the child
(unless specific agreement has been made between the child, parent, school, and physician). Dayspring Christian
Academy will always make every effort to administer all medications according to a physician’s order. The school
shall not be responsible for reminding the student to come for the medication; the student must be responsible to
appear at the appropriate time. If the medication schedule can be structured around the school day, we would ask
that this accommodation be made. If students will be off campus (field trip, athletic event, etc.), parents are to
arrange with the school nurse, in advance, the plan to administer the medication.
2.
Non-prescription medicines are NEVER to be carried to school by students. In the event that a parent
anticipates a need for Tylenol or Ibuprofen to be administered, the parent must complete a permission form prior to
administration for the current school year. The medication must be brought in by the parent, in its original
container, labeled with: child’s name, dose amount and frequency.
3.
If there is an unexpected need for Tylenol, the parent will be called at the time and must give consent
before non-prescription medicines will be administered. If the parent is unable to be reached medicine will be
given only if there is written permission on file and it and it can be determined it is within the appropriate dosage
schedule to have the medication.
4.
List other medicines the child takes daily. List any adverse reactions with over the counter medicines such
as Tylenol or children’s Ibuprofen.
5.
It is the parent’s responsibility to keep school medical records current. If there is a change in daily
medicines, contact the school immediately by written note to the nurse. This is for the safety of your child
especially, if in an emergency situation, other medicines may be given by the emergency personnel. If any
alteration of daily activity, a physician’s note will be required.
I hereby authorize Dayspring Christian Academy to arrange for medical examination and/or treatment of my child,
________________________________, should an emergency arise at school or on a field trip. It is understood that
a conscientious effort will be made by the school to contact me at the emergency numbers I have provided before
any medical action is taken. In case of emergency, 911 will be called. The choice of hospital may be limited by the
service.

Both the MEDICATION PROTOCOL FORM and the *MEDICATION/EMERGENCY CARE FORM must
be completed and submitted by August 1st. Both of these forms must be filled out for each student every year.

child will need an over-the-counter medication during the school year on a regular basis, you will need to
provide the medication (in its original container). Medications are only administered according to the above
guidelines unless an emergency arises. (A headache is NOT considered to be an emergency)
If your child has a medication that will need to be administered during the school day or requires an
emergency medication such as an epi-pen or inhaler, please have the necessary forms (available in the school
office) filled out by your physician over the summer and personally bring the medication to the nurse at the
start of the school year. One form per medication is required by law. Be sure to check all expiration dates on
medications prior to bringing them.
All medications must be picked up the last week of school. They will be held for one week after school ends.
They will be disposed of if not picked up. Thank you for your immediate attention and prompt response to
these matters. Please keep this page for your future reference.
