Faculty & Staff
People who know students well. And invest in who they are becoming.
At Delaware Christian School, education is personal. Our teachers, administrators, and staff bring experience, care, and a shared commitment to helping students grow in knowledge, character, and confident faith.
Known by Name
A school community built through relationships.
Students spend their days with people who teach more than subject matter. DCS faculty and staff encourage questions, notice growth, provide accountability, celebrate progress, and model what it looks like to pursue excellence with a biblical worldview. Across classrooms, offices, arts, athletics, student support, and daily operations, each person plays a part in creating a school where students are known and families are supported.
