Delaware County Christian School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Delaware County Christian School is a Pre-K to 12 independent, coeducational, interdenominational day school with an enrollment of approximately 900 students located on two campuses in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania in the United States.[1] Originally only at the Malin Road campus on the grounds of the Strawbridge estate, it expanded in 1968 with the purchase of the Alice Grim school at Bishop Hollow Rd. and West Chester Pike for grades K-5.
The school's officially-stated mission is "to educate students who will serve God and impact the world through biblical thought and action."
Delaware County Christian School students participate in a wide variety of athletic events, such as Lacrosse, Soccer, and Basketball, as well as academic competitions such as Hi-Q, Math Club, Chess Club and Science Olympiad.

Often referred to as "DC", the school also goes by "Delco Christian" and "DCCS". Until 2007 Delco Christian was a member of the Southern Chester County League (SCCL). Almost the entire SCCL was absorbed into the Ches-Mont League except for Garnet Valley High School, Devon Preparatory School, and Delco Christian (the latter two were the league’s smallest members). As of the 2008-2009 academic year Delco Christian will join the Bicentennial League rejoining former SCCL rival Devon Prep. The school's mascot is The Knight and its colors are green and white. The Varsity boys lacrosse team is currently a part of the Tri-County League.
The German department currently runs an exchange program with the August-Hermann-Francke-Schule in Giessen, Germany (a city north of Frankfurt).
