Dr. Anthony Bryan, the right leader, at the right time. After much prayer and anticipation, Dade Christian School (DCS) and The Master’s Academy (TMA) welcome Bryan as the new Superintendent of Schools. In addition to an expansive list of credentials, including two doctoral degrees, Bryan’s career covers 35 years, 17 of which he served as Headmaster for several major Christian schools.
Bryan was also elected by Florida private school administrators to the board of directors for Florida Council of Independent Schools and was appointed to the board of Christian Schools of Florida. Upon hearing of Bryan’s new role at DCS and TMA, Elena Del Alamo, Director of Enrollment Management at Pine Crest School, shared her high regards for her colleague.
“Dr. Lourdes Cowgill, former President at Pine Crest School, and I have admired Dr. Bryan in many ways; from his eloquence to his impeccable manners. I am delighted to know that he has joined Dade Christian School and The Master's Academy. It is wonderful to know that we continue to have a good friend and educator as well as a fine role model in the South Florida area,” said Del Alamo.
For those familiar with the phrase, “for such a time as this,” it is understood to mean to be called by God at a specific time for a specific purpose. A bold statement to say the least, but upon meeting Bryan it is clear to see that he is the leader DCS has been praying and waiting for. His expertise in the area of Christian education combined with his ability to successfully lead a school toward academic, athletic, and artistic achievements instills a deep sense of confidence that he is the right man for the job.
Bryan has received several awards from his previous schools and was able to lead the development of state finalist sports teams in baseball, basketball, and track during his time at Coral Springs Christian Academy. In addition, the CSCA elementary school received top awards in the ACSI Math Olympics in 2013.
“Dr. Bryan is a very gifted and innovative school leader and certainly brings lots of experience as well as creative and innovative thinking to the classroom,” said Jennifer Thompson, Elementary Principal at Westminster Christian School, “[Dade Christian School and The Master’s Academy] are lucky to have him.”
In the few days since he took the helm of leadership at DCS and TMA, Bryan has made it a priority to develop a rapport with the students, parents, and faculty members on campus. He is committed to the spiritual growth, academic advancement, and social development of the students.
An opportunity to meet Bryan as well as the other school administrators will be open to the public on Thursday, January 22 at 6:30 p.m. for Elementary Open House or Monday, January 26 at 7 p.m. for Secondary Open House.
