Dayspring Christian Academy, 120 College Ave., Mountville, will host an all-school open house on Thursday, March 13, from 6 to 8 p.m. Families will be able to tour the school and visit with teachers.

Dayspring was founded in 1987 and is one of many schools in America that teaches students using the Principle Approach. Of those, Dayspring is one of five model demonstration schools. The Principle Approach is a classical method of education that aims to help students develop a biblical worldview as well as excellence in character and academics. The Principle Approach emphasizes America's biblical foundation.

Dayspring offers a wide variety of extracurricular activities, including the following lower school and upper school sports: soccer, volleyball, basketball, cross-country, track and field, and golf. Through partnerships with McCaskey, Columbia, and Penn Manor high schools, students may participate in all the public schools' sports, including football, baseball, swimming, lacrosse, field hockey, and tennis.

At Dayspring, courses and clubs include the lower school, middle school, and high school choirs; the performance choir; and art. Students in fourth grade learn to play the ukulele while fifth-grade students all learn to play the violin. Students in grades six through 12 also have opportunities to try many new experiences through a wide array of clubs, such as STEM, music, athletics, and art.

The school's curricula include many in-depth field study experiences, including time in Plymouth, Mass., to study the Pilgrims; Boston to study America's founding; Gettysburg; the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter in Kentucky; and Washington, D.C. As the culmination of their educational experience, seniors travel to Israel for a nearly two-week field study.
