About Us

The Center for Innovation at Delaware County Christian School empowers students to transform the world through innovative, faith-driven education. Our mission to foster redemptive impact inspires students to serve others, promote human flourishing, and honor God’s glory. Through the DC Innovation Incubator, students lead teams in entrepreneurship, robotics, computer science, and digital arts, tackling real-world challenges with guidance from industry mentors and market-driven disciplines. Our after-school, weekend, and summer camps engage 10-20 students in hands-on learning, while competitions like elevator pitches and stock trading showcase their creativity and grit. Supported by a proprietary app for learning modules and portfolio-building, students exercise agency, curating their work to reflect their unique impact. Our team, led by Director Matthew DeFranza, alongside innovation teachers and a student marketing team, fosters a Christ-centered community where wonder, problem-solving, and faithfulness thrive. Industry partnerships provide mentorship and real-world connections, equipping students to design solutions for local businesses and beyond. Embracing our core values—Wonder, Grit, Community Building, and more—students grow in confidence and purpose, prepared to make a difference for God’s kingdom. Families interested in this transformative experience can contact our Director, Matthew DeFranza, to explore how the Center empowers young innovators.
