Dakar Academy's mission, as well as providing primary and secondary evangelical Christian education, is to provide quality boarding for children of missionaries living outside of Dakar in order that those families will be able to continue their work where they are while meeting the educational needs of their children.  The boarding facilities of Dakar Academy are staffed by North American missionaries who have responded to God’s call to serve as boarding parents.  Dakar Academy boarding facilities only accepts residents who are children of missionaries.

Missionary children in the boarding homes live in a home-like atmosphere with loving boarding parents who fill the role and meet the responsibilities of their parents who are absent. They provide vigilant, supportive supervision around-the-clock, seven days a week. The boarding home parents are always on call to help students with spiritual, academic, social, and personal development. Boarding home students are asked to adhere to rules involving such things as study times, visitation, curfews, and lights out.

Currently, Dakar Academy has a large residence facility on-campus and another boarding home in a neighborhood residence close to the school.  Other missions providing boarding residences close to the school include the Christian and Missionary Alliance who currently operate 3 boarding homes and there is also a Korean missionary boarding home.  All total, one-fifth of Dakar Academy’s approximately 250 students are boarding students.
