The teachers are very nice and help us with all are needs in God and education i think its a very nice school. :)
Not long into the school year, a dear friend of mine came to me in tears. Her son was being bullied. soon after that, the principal/teacher had suspended her child for "behavioral" issues. My friend was told that her son has disciplinary issues that needed to be addressed at home. She assured the staff at Dover 1st that this was not the case, and it wasn't a disciplinary issue. This fell on deaf ears.
This little boy is amazingly intelligent! My friend took her son and had him tested; the diagnosis, Autism. A simple explanation to the struggles he faced in Dover 1st. The staff at Dover 1st, backed by their pastor, refused to sit down with my friend and discuss the suspension and the little boy's diagnosis. The principal/teacher never acknowledged terrible mistake she made. She never admitted that, being a "trained" educational figure, she didn't see the tell-tale signs of Autism.
My daughter has been going to DFCS since it opened and we are very impressed with the hugh academic standards, Christian values and morals and the caring, enthusiastic and professional teachers. They have hands on learning, awesome field trips and the lastest technology used in the classrooms. I would highly recommend this school to anyone that wants top notch, christian education for their child.
This is the best school in Dover. The individualized attention, the certified caring staff, the amazing study tours, the high standard of excellence, and most especially the attention to developing my child as a Christian leader with strong moral character; makes this school the total package of academic and spiritual excellence in education. The opportunities all the students have to learn beyond the classroom on trips, with technology, and with community service activities is such a blessing. I wouldn't send my child to any other school in Delaware.
I am a parent at this school and I can't even begin to say how happy I am with the school and the staff. My daughter has been there since pre-k and this is her 4 year attending the school. I am pleased with the fact that they will come up with ways to help the kids to understand the subject they are being taught. I have seen the teachers give they all to the children to encourage them and let them know that they are very smart kid and that they have the strength to do the task at hand. My child loves it; she comes home excited with what she have learned at school. What greater joy for a parent to see their child being excited with learning. I know I am very happy with the outcomes of my daughter. Thanks to the staff for all you do.
Sadly, my friend pulled her child from Dover 1st. The little boy was losing friends he had grown to love. Even the bully was on the little boy's prayer list.
I was very happy to see a Christian school come to this part of Dover. A lot of hard work and dedication went into the plans, building, furnishing, and character of the school. I went to the open house when the school was completed. Liking what I saw, I was thinking about sending my son the next year, when I was able.
I cannot imagine running a school with personnel that cannot recognize the signs of such a well-known disorder as Autism. I am not the type of person who takes one side as truth. Even though this woman is a very close friend, I attempted to contact the pastor. I wanted to address the policy for disorders children may have, whether they be developmental or behavioral. My efforts to meet with the pastor were ignored completely.
