The interview is conducted in person at Dayspring Christian Academy with both parents and a team from Dayspring. Upper School students (grades 6-12) are a necessary part of the interview, as we seek to know the entire family better. Lower School students are invited but not required to attend.

After all admissions requirements have been met, the Admissions Committee meets to determine acceptance. Families who receive an offer of admission are invited to enroll.
After acceptance, parents confirm their child’s enrollment by returning the New Student Agreement and signing up for a tuition payment plan. Enrollment is completed when you sign the parent agreement and return it to Dayspring.
In August, students entering all grades will receive a letter from their homeroom teacher. You will also start receiving The Beacon through your email, which includes important dates about orientation, supply lists, Back to School Night, and the first days of school.
