Statement of Faith
We believe there is one God who created the world and is intimately involved with it at all times. We believe in the Trinity: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that Jesus is the Son of God who died for our sins and rose again as the only way to salvation. We believe the Bible is the Word of God. We believe that Biblical truths should affect and change our thoughts, our lives, and our daily behaviors. We believe that these are the non-negotiables. Other more specific doctrines we believe are important, but we do not have to agree upon them.
Our teachers all agree on the non-negotiables and will teach from this Christian viewpoint. However, teachers do not share their own personal church doctrines or opinions within class.
We value people of all races, ethnicities, religions, and backgrounds and seek to love and understand all people. A profession of faith or adherence to any particular religion is not required to attend the Academy, only a willingness to participate in our curriculum and meet our standards of behavior. Our teachers are encouraged to reference the Bible and pray for their students. All of our teachers hold the above statement of faith as a personal conviction and teach from a Christian viewpoint. DaySpring is not affiliated with any one particular church or denomination, nor do we teach doctrine. Age appropriate discussions of God’s hand in history, science, and other subjects are common, the celebration of Christmas as the birth of Jesus and Easter as the resurrection of Jesus are recognized, but we refer students to their parents to ask questions relating to individual and family beliefs.
Educational Philosophy
We believe that if you teach skills, such as creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and communication, within all content areas, that students will be equipped for success in whatever they do beyond school. We believe education should be dynamic, alive and relevant to students. Our teaching style and curriculum choices reflect those beliefs.
​
We aim to provide a challenging and comprehensive education with a hands-on, problem solving approach. We seek to make the students' educational experience as personal as possible, and to motivate and equip students of all abilities to reach their full potential. DaySpring Academy provides a Project Based Education that encourages individuality and a love for learning.
​
Christian values are at the center of all we do and we consider it a privilege to partner with parents as they help prepare their children for what God has for them.
Teachers
DaySpring chooses their faculty not only for their excellent qualifications, but for their godly character and passion for what they teach. Each of our faculty is committed to engaging students in meaningful education, investing in them and seeing them grow in and outside the classroom. They are experts in what they do and ready and willing to partner with parents and students, offering the support necessary to enable students to create a positive successful education. Our faculty adheres to and teaches from a Christian Worldview, while challenging students to explore the world around them and seeking to understand those different from themselves.
​
