I have attended Donelson Christian Academy for 9 years. It is a very safe, fun, and kind community. DCA does a great job of getting students ready for college all the way from Pre-K to 12th grade. DCA is a great scholarly atmosphere with an incredible faculty and staff. Not only does DCA prepare us well with academics, but many different experiences as well such as community service.

I went to this school from k5-12th grade. I still am so close with all of the teachers and still have the same 5 best friends I met in elementary. I was able to get an incredible education in a safe and friendly environment. It really feels like one big family there!

This school became home to me over 7 years of my life. I came to DCA in the 6th grade and had no friends at my old school. At DCA I was immediately brought into this amazing community and built bonds that will last a lifetime. I went from a football only kid that thought choir and drama were “uncool...
