Looking for Founding Families

---

The foundation of Defiance Christian Academy is being formed right now.  DCA as looking for faith-filled founding families to become the cornerstone of our inaugural school year.

Founding Families are parents and children who are making early commitment to the 2026 school year in order to ensure we have the enrollment needed to kick off DCA in August of 2026.

What is the Benefit of Being a Founding Family? 

• Assurance that DCA leaves the ground in 2026 - if we can get 15 students enrolled across at least 2 grades and our fundraising goal met, DCA will become a reality in 2026. Once we hit that level of commitment there is little that can stand in the way of a successful beginning for the families in Defiance that need DCA in operation.
• A community forum where the founders of DCA can help set the tone for how DCA will grow and mature in this community with special events, involvement in key school decisions and setting a course for what the future of DCA will look like
• Help shape the look of DCA in choosing school colors, mascot, and other fun things. 

What is needed from Founding Families?

• Commitment to enroll and supply tuition payments for the first 5 months of the 2026 school year (approximately $700 per month for each student)
