    Testimony of Gratitude for Dawn Treader Christian School


    It is an honor for me to share how Dawn Treader Christian School has been an incredible blessing to my children. At Dawn Treader, my kids have not only enjoyed heartfelt worship songs but also powerful and transformative Bible messages. This environment has provided them with wisdom, inspired them to grow in their faith, and empowered them to achieve their God-given potential while leaving a lasting impact on those around them.


    Through Dawn Treader, my daughter Priscilla discovered and cultivated her talent for singing by participating in the ensemble. This opportunity enabled her to grow in confidence, develop her musical abilities, and use her gifts to glorify God. I am deeply grateful for the role Dawn Treader has played in shaping her journey and providing a space where she could truly shine.
