Apply to Defiance Christian Academy

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 confident that DCA will be starting this fall.  


Note that the Ed-Choice Scholarships will not be available until the second semester, so families will have to pay tuition for students for semester one. More details in the Tuition, Fees, and Payment Schedule. 


We are working to raise scholarships for low-income families to attend DCA for year one. So even if you're not sure you can afford DCA because of the semester one tuition, please begin the application process, and join us in trusting the Lord to provide everything we need for DCA! 


In the unlikely event we don't launch this fall, all fees and tuition (except the $35 testing fee) will be refunded to the families who have paid. 


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.)  
If you are looking to apply as a DCA teacher, see "Job Opportunities."
