Planting Biblical Principles in Hearts and Minds:

Photo of Classical Christian School in Lancaster County PAAt Dayspring Christian Academy, we use the Principle Approach method of education, which draws life and its very core from the Word of God. Dayspring offers a bold, distinctive, biblical education in Lancaster, PA, that teaches students to think and reason from biblical principles and apply them to every area of life.

Our goal is for graduates to be faith-filled, biblical thinkers who pursue Christian character, communicate confidently, innovate purposefully, and live courageously as tomorrow's leaders.

With this worldview, students learn to think logically. They learn how to think not what to think. From this perspective, they gain a love of learning and the ability to view the world through the lens of the Bible. This brings transformation internally and extends outward to affect every area of life.

Focusing on character and biblical worldview development, the Bible is applied to every subject. Every class at Dayspring Christian Academy begins with God’s Word.

Students aren't just learning how to memorize facts. Instead, they're taught how to think and reason from a Biblical perspective. This means graduates of Dayspring are well-prepared for the next step of college or life after school.
