History
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.School Activities
Upper School
Winter Bible Conference
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 is best described as a summer camp experience held during the winter, where upper school students 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 school’s admin and or president, wins basically bragging rights for the rest of the year.
