Discovery Day School is a ministry of Oxford University United Methodist Church. DDS provides a nurturing, safe environment in which children feel loved, respected and valued while they are encouraged to develop to their fullest potential socially, emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. Children of all faiths and nationalities are welcome.
Information about our 2023-2024 school year is available for First Discoveries and for Discovery Day School. Parents can download the documents and forms here.
Registration opens Monday, April 3, 2023 for Camp Discovery, a day camp for children who have completed DDS Butterflies or three- or four-year-old preschool or kindergarten. Children who are enrolled in Discovery Junior or Senior PreK for the fall are also encouraged to enroll in Camp Discovery. Camp Discovery has been a huge hit with students, parents, and with camp leaders. The teachers and I are excited to begin our tenth summer of Camp Discovery.
In order to provide our day campers with the best possible camp experiences, enrollment must be limited. Based on the expressed interest of our parents, expect the slots to fill quickly. Camp Discovery may fill before all interested students apply. Please enroll during the early bird period for the best chance!
