Our goal at Dominion is to develop well-rounded students who are thinking and feeling Christians, students who are well-versed in many things. We desire to foster a sense of completeness and wholeness and we do this by providing opportunities for wonder and engagement in the world.
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.
Classical Christian education is unique in that it seeks to faithfully restore the most proven form of education ever developed. This education produced the greatest thinkers, leaders, and scientists in the Western world from the time of the Greeks until the late 19th century, including America’s founding fathers. Our world is accelerating as technological, cultural, and geo-political forces reshape our daily lives. However, thinking, articulate people are always in demand. Those who are able to acquire new skills rapidly and independently are sought after regardless of the field. Classical Christian education has a proven track record of turning out these types of students.
We enjoy a diverse faculty, many of whom have advanced degrees in their field of study and many years of educational experience. Our faculty and staff share a vision of excellent education that forms a strong commitment to students and to their success. Most importantly, every member of the faculty professes their faith in Jesus Christ and desires to care for our students both academically and spiritually.
Our children are known here at Dominion, not just by their individual teachers, but by every teacher, volunteer, and leader in the building. They are cared for, they are nurtured, and they are fed into each day with skills, wisdom, and truth which will carry them well into their adult lives. We are so proud to be a part of this family, and look forward to watching our three eagles soar each year!
Without a doubt, Dominion Christian School gives a well-rounded education with a focus on teaching and maturing children in accordance with Godly principles. Teachers at Dominion are kind, fair, and they all love the Lord. They accept each child as they are, and in their exact spot on their learning journey. Teachers want each child to grow from where they start, and take great pride in seeing them do so.

Dominion is easily one of the best choices we've made for our family. The teachers and staff truly care about their students and contribute not just to their intellectual growth, but to their character and spiritual growth as well. The teachers have inventive hands-on ways to make learning fun with dress up days, food festivals and more. We LOVE that our kids are immersed in God's word - learning both scripture and hymns in a joyful way.
