Dear Parents, Thank you for your interest in Desert Christian Academy. We are honored that you are considering DCA for your child’s education. Desert Christian Academy exists to provide a distinctively Christian education grounded in the truth of God’s Word. Our admissions process is designed to ensure clarity, alignment, and partnership between home and school. As part of this process, we ask that you carefully review Desert Christian Academy’s Statement of Faith, which outlines our religious purpose, mission, and core beliefs. This statement can be found at the end of this letter and serves as the foundation for everything we do and guides our curriculum, instruction, and community life. DCA unashamedly believes, teaches, and practices a literal interpretation of the Word of God. Biblical principles are integrated into every subject area, chapel, and school activity. When questions arise—whether in the classroom or in chapel—our teachers respond from a biblical perspective that is consistent with our Statement of Faith. Families at DCA represent a range of backgrounds, united by a shared understanding of and support for the biblical worldview that shapes our teaching and community life. What allows this diversity to work well is a shared understanding and support of what is taught at DCA. When families are aware of and aligned with our biblical teaching, students are better equipped to learn, grow, and thrive without confusion or conflict between home and school. Our desire is to partner with families who value a Christ-centered educational environment and who are willing to support the spiritual and academic direction of the school, even if they are at different places in their own faith journey. When that partnership exists, DCA can be a positive and meaningful experience for both students and families. If you believe Desert Christian Academy aligns with your expectations and educational goals, we would be honored to walk alongside you in educating your child in truth, wisdom, and character. In Christ, Tom Fulton Admissions & Student Engagement
