Apply to Defiance Christian Academy

---

The DCA Board and launch team members have been working diligently to raise money and launch in the fall of 2026. 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. 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. 

The Application Process 

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

2. Complete the Online Application (20-30 minutes). Note that you will need to upload copies of each student's current grade card (if applicable), birth certificate, and immunization records.

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.)
