Dublin Christian Academy is a private Christian school located in Dublin, New Hampshire. Founded in 1964, it serves students from kindergarten through 12th grade.

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. ^[2]

School Activities

At DCA there are many activities the students participate in throughout the school years. The biggest event at the school is their event called Winter Bible Conference (WBC) ^[3] . Winter Bible Conference is best described as a summer camp in the middle of the school year, during the winter, where upper school students,7th-12th get 3 days off of school, are separated into 3 or 4 teams, and play games and challenges as well as listening to sermons. Every year the theme is different, providing a fresh experience each year. The teams earn points throughout the 3 days and the team with the most points, which is decided and weighed by the admin/president of the school, gets bragging rights for the rest of the year that they were triumphant. Points are given out generally by bible memory, sportsmanship, and winning games.

Extracurricular activities

Student organizations and activities include an art association, chorale, drama, and Team America Rocketry Challenge. ^[4]
