History

Dominion Christian School opened in 1996. As of 2000, the school had classes for kindergarten through grade 3, at campuses in Potomac Falls, Oakton and Reston. It has since expanded to cover all grades K-12. It held in-person classes during the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] In 2023, Dominion acquired a new North Campus on Dranesville Road and consolidated the Reston and Potomac Falls campuses into one K-12 campus in Herndon.[3]

Education philosophy

Dominion Christian School is a part of the Classical Christian education movement in the United States. Its teaching method is based on the Trivium, which is denoted by three stages: Grammar, Dialectic (logic) and Rhetoric. The school's pedagogy draws heavily from the Socratic Method and more so from the Harkness Method.

It teaches its curriculum from a Christian view "that all truth belongs to God".[2]
