The Dunnville Christian School Society began in 1958 with the intent to provide Christian education locally. Although the actual school doors did not open until September of 1971, the Society conducted meetings with the hope that one day, their school would be organized. Mr. Klaas Mulder was the president of the Society at the time. He and his wife did not even have children. He passed away just weeks before the school opened.

Funds were collected and set aside for future purchases in regards to property, building, etc. In September of 1971, the doors of Dunnville Parental Christian School opened for the first time and welcomed 47 students for the first time.

In 1976, a new building was erected on property purchased from Mr. Richard & Mrs. Ann Hoekstra. A total of 95 students were enrolled at that time. Dunnville Christian School was incorporated in 1984 and the 1983-1984 school year had the first ever Kindergarten class, taught by Mrs. Bettie Vreugdenhil. 

In 1986, the membership voted to proceed with an addition to the school of two new classrooms, a kitchen, a gymnasium with two adjoining change rooms, office space, and a caretaker’s room. There were 57 families and 118 students that school year. 

Need to add latest information about adding the roof and then adding the addition as well as the portable etc.

To date, approximately 660  students have graduated from DCS, 376 former students attended DCS, with a total of about  1,036 students who have graced its halls. ​​
