Davenport Christian School Partners with The Classical Homeschool group. This group meets on Mondays at the school. Students participate in memory work, science experiments, art projects and other activities that bring life to ordinary studies.
This partnership allows for homeschool students as well as DCS to share resources in a mutually beneficial way.
Students meet one day a week. They work through a classical curriculum with a strong emphasis on the grammar stage of learning. Students memorize a large amount of facts and dates in preparation for the upper grades.
This model allows parents to homeschool while having the additional benefits of accountability, structure and peer interaction that a school provides.

Student Tuition Organization
A Student Tuition Organization is a charitable organization that raises money to provide tuition assistance to eligible students attending participating nonpublic schools. Donations help make Christian education more accessible to families who need financial assistance.
Through STO scholarships, donors can help more students access a Christ-centered education while supporting the mission of schools like Davenport Christian School. Iowa’s program has specific eligibility requirements for families, schools, and STO organizations.
Under Iowa’s existing program, eligible Iowa taxpayers may receive a state income tax credit equal to 75% of a qualifying donation to an approved School Tuition Organization. The STO uses donations to provide tuition grants to eligible students attending participating Iowa nonpublic schools.
For example, a qualifying $1,000 donation could generate a $750 Iowa tax credit, subject to available tax-credit allocations and program rules. The credit is nonrefundable, and excess credits may generally be carried forward for up to five tax years.
Beginning January 1, 2027, the federal Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) tax credit will allow eligible individual taxpayers to claim a federal income tax credit of up to $1,700 for qualifying cash contributions to an eligible SGO. Iowa has elected to participate in the federal program for 2027. The organization receiving the donation must meet federal requirements and be included on the applicable state list.
Internal Revenue Service
A few important distinctions:
The federal credit is available for qualifying contributions made in the 2027 tax year and beyond, subject to applicable requirements.
It is a nonrefundable credit, meaning it generally cannot reduce federal income tax below zero.
The eligibility and treatment of contributions under both programs must be confirmed with the participating STO and a qualified tax professional.
