History
Dominion Christian School opened its doors in September 1996 as a quality independent school that was founded upon the time-tested methods of a Classical methodology within the framework of a Christian worldview. The goal of Dominion Christian School is to instill its students a love for learning, and to provide an orderly and nurturing atmosphere in which these ideals can be achieved.
Education philosophy
Dominion Christian School is a part of the Classical Christian education movement in the United States. Its teaching method is based on the Trivium, which is denoted by three stages: Grammar, Dialectic (logic) and Rhetoric. The school's pedagogy draws heavily from the Socratic Method and more so from the Harkness Method. It teaches its curriculum from a Christian view "that all truth belongs to God".[2]
