DC 2020
The overarching goal of Dallas Christian School as it enters another 50 years of accredited Christian education is to be recognized as a college-preparatory school committed to biblical values where students are prepared for Christ-centered lives of purpose, service, and leadership.
Based on intentional strategic planning by the Dallas Christian School Board of Trustees and President Chris King, the “DC2020: Charging Forward” Strategic Plan identifies seven major pillars of organizational growth. Over time and with stakeholder collaboration, we will add supporting initiatives to each pillar which will promote: spiritual formation and 21st Century leadership preparation; relevant and rigorous academic experiences for our students; a continued commitment to fiscal planning and stability; a commitment to enabling a faculty culture of scholarship; student and parent engagement; and long-range vision casting.
We believe these pillars and the specific initiatives that will support them are worthy, and we are committed to their success. For more than five decades, DCS has engaged in producing well-equipped Christian leaders for college and career readiness. The profile of a DC graduate is a student that is: grounded in a biblical worldview; engaged on a faith journey that is Christ-centered; prepared for servant-leadership; imagining ways to impact the world for Jesus through interpersonal relationships, integrity, and character; and committed to lifelong learning and scholarly contribution.
While the strategic plan for DC has evolved over her five-decade history of serving families and educating students, there remains a confirmation that, by providing our school community with long-range vision, we are serving to create student experiences that are relevant and rigorous. Free to explore God’s world, His wisdom and truths, and His will and purpose for our students, Dallas Christian School is imagining the next fifty years of partnering with families and churches to continue to impact our world for Jesus.
