We're excited you've made it here!

Thank you for your interest in enrolling your children at DCA. We are grateful for your trust. We are excited that DCA's inaugural school year is happening right now! 


Enrollment will remain open throughout the school year.


DCA is a covenant Christian school. What that means is we view ourselves as partners with Christian parents in the spiritual and intellectual nurture of their children. One implication of being a covenant Christian school is that at least one parent who lives full-time with the children is required to give testimony to being a born-again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, be a regular attender of a local church, and be in agreement with the DCA Statement of Faith. Additionally, a favorable pastoral recommendation for the family (parents and children) is a requirement to move forward with the application process.


Note the "Current Enrollment" chart. For this academic year, we have combined grades for most classes. 

  • Kindergarten - Mrs. Nofziger
  • 1st and 2nd Grade - Ms. Crowl
  • 3rd and 4th Grade - Mrs. Hotmire
  • 5th and 6th Grade - Mrs. Andres


If you would  like to schedule a DCA tour, contact Principal Mumaw at principal@defiancechristianacademy.com, or (419) 770-4874. 


The Application Process 

1. Read the Admissions Checklist and Tuition, Fees, and Payment Schedule


2. Complete the Online Application (5-10 minutes). Note that you will need to upload copies of each student's current grade card (if applicable), birth certificate, and immunization records. If you are missing any of these forms you can submit them electronically or bring them to the interview.

3. Pay the Registration Fee (collected at the time of an interview).

4. A completed Pastoral Recommendation Form is required.  (We cannot process the student’s application until this information is received.)
