About Dayspring Academy
.
|
Dayspring
Academy is a charter school concentrating on high academics
and the arts. Dayspring began as an idea created by a
group of community members from New Port Richey in September
1999. From this group a board was formed including
educators, business leaders, and legislative employees.
This board became a non-profit organization calling itself
Creation Foundation, Inc. |
Creation Foundation
met regularly with families in the community to
brainstorm educational ideas, needs, and goals, and the
charter was granted in March 2000. In April of the
same year, Dayspring received over 170 applications for
enrollment in grades K-5. The school was able to
accommodate 131 of those applicants.
In
the summer of 2003, the dream of Dayspring Academy grew.
A local civic association took an interest in Dayspring.
Embassy Hills Civic Association interviewed several
community groups and decided to donate their facility,
land and contents to Dayspring Academy. Embassy
Hills donated a 9,000 square foot building on 2.75
acres of land in Port Richey, 7 minutes away from
Dayspring’s existing campus. In September 2003,
Dayspring Middle School moved over to the new facility.
Embassy Hills Civic Association still meets in the
building and a pleasant interaction between the
generations is enjoyed.

This
year, Dayspring has reached a milestone, our tenth year of
operation. Dayspring Academy continues to be
academically ahead of its class continuing to perform as
an “A” school as has been done since its opening.
Our arts programs now reach out to the entire
community with Alpha Rho Theata (A.R.T.), an affordable,
high-quality after hours arts program for children through
adults. Our after-school program, ACT II, reinforces
academic skills before and after school along with art,
dance, theater and community outreach. ACT II offers
a full summer program for students K-8. Dayspring
“goes global” this year with its first humanitarian
trip to the Dominican Republic. Families will reach
out to an orphanage in the DR, learning to serve the
underprivileged. Visitors are always welcome at
Dayspring to observe the quality education that is given
on a daily basis. Please call for a tour Monday
through Friday during school hours. Thank you for
visiting Dayspring’s website and as always, have a great
day at Dayspring!
