Dominion Christian School was founded in 1996 and is committed to educating its students with “knowledge, truth, and wisdom” through the classical model. Dominion seeks to instill in each student a lifelong love of learning and to prepare each student for admission to selective colleges and universities. Dominion is a non-denominational, K-12 co-educational institution.
Kindergartners use their God-given curiosity to discover new skills and ideas through a variety of curricular subjects and inspiring literature while being held to a high standard with regard to self, others and work.
Lower school students focus on the grammar, or facts, of learning. The school’s faculty creatively uses song, rhyme, hand motions, chants, and repetition to help students gain familiarity with the information they will need in the years to come.
Middle school students are naturally inclined towards argumentation, so our programs focus upon developing skills such as reasoning and critical thinking. We teach them to “connect the dots” between learning facts and gaining wisdom.
Upper school students focus on mastering the art of rhetoric, or artful expression. As students become more concerned with how others view them, the upper school equips them to communicate with poise and eloquence.
The challenges and mysteries of life are worthy of contemplation, and the Western canon presents a host of works of literature, art, music, science, theology, and history that can help our students meaningfully consider the human condition.
As they contemplate works worthy of their time–pieces that express truth, beauty, goodness, and wisdom–our students drink deeply from the great books of the Western canon.
