Dublin Christian Academy is a private Christian school located in Dublin, New Hampshire. Founded in 1964, it serves students from kindergarten through 12th grade.
In 1954 F. Nelson Blount purchased Staghead Farm to live a country lifestyle and work on his newfound Christian faith with his family. Throughout the years the Blount family expanded the farm's land and livestock, giving the farm 80 cows, 3,000 chickens, and horses for each of his children. Blount and his wife Ruth as new Christians wanted to give their kids a good Christian education; however, there was no Christian education in the Monadnock area. The Blount family, through guidance of the Holy Spirit, decided to devote their farm to God and provide Christian education in the Monadnock region. Florida pastor Melvin Moody and his brother Leon Moody were brought in as school administrators and the school opened its doors on September 8, 1964.
At DCA, students participate in a variety of activities throughout the school year, but the highlight of the year is the Winter Bible Conference (WBC). WBC is best described as a summer camp experience held during the winter, where upper school students (grades 7âÂÂ12) get three days off from regular classes. During this time, students are divided into three or four teams to compete in games, challenges, and Bible memory activities, while also attending sermons.
Each year features a new theme, offering a fresh experience. Teams earn points based on Bible memory, sportsmanship, and game performance. At the end of the 3 days, the team with the most points, which the points are determined and weighted by the schoolâÂÂs admin and or president, wins basically bragging rights for the rest of the year.
DCA's student council hosts an event every year called Harvest Fest. The fellas at DCA from grades 7th-12th get together, play games, eat food, and, most importantly, fellowship amongst fellow Christians.
The Lower School (1st-6th) is not left out, the school does a yearly field day in partnership with Edge Camps. The Field Day is off course a fun day for the little ones while they are still learning in the Messiah Jesus Christ.
Student organizations and activities include an art association, chorale, drama, and Team America Rocketry Challenge.
