    integrated throughout the entire curriculum. A Bible is given to every
    student in third grade to use through their learning years.
  9. Morning devotions are held in every classroom each day. Middle and
    elementary school chapels are held weekly. In middle school,
    accountability groups of four to five students, who are guided by one
    adult, meet every other week. These groups stay together throughout
    the three years.
  10. Dutton is accredited by the Michigan Non-Public School
    Accreditation Association (MNSAA). All of our teaching staff are highly

    and staff through service, fund-raisers, and fun & fellowship all
    through the efforts of volunteers.

    present and future DCS families by giving them the opportunity to
    accumulate tuition credit.

    personalities.

    therapy, and speech services to eligible DCS students.
