School Notes
- Rather than teaching students to be test-takers, CDA educates the whole child, training them to be lifelong learners. Our holistic curriculum is designed to create scholar disciples who can think critically, communicate persuasively, and serve effectively for the glory of God. Students master Latin, logic, and other subjects essential to developing organized, thoughtful, and eloquent communication.
- Coram Deo integrates biblical truth into every subject. Students learn to make Christ the cornerstone in their minds, wills, and hearts to live for the glory of God. The staff at Coram Deo Academy are devoted participants in local evangelical churches and are worthy of imitation in life and faith. By maintaining small class sizes that promote academic excellence, the faculty at CDA has the time, space, and passion to provide students with a purposeful education from kindergarten to graduation.
- Mission & Values
- Classical Christian Education is transformative education. Coram Deo Academy`s two-fold methodology of discipleship and scholarship creates durable disciples who will lead and influence the world with their lives.
- Discipleship: Students learn from faithful Christ-followers through instruction, imitation, and practice. Biblical truth is integrated into every subject, so Christ becomes the cornerstone in all areas of life, as modeled by CDA staff.
- Scholarship: Students develop a love of learning and cultivate mastery of the tools of learning. Through this mastery, CDA students become lifelong learners. Our culture is built on a close community of staff, students, and parents, all of whom are committed to CDA`s mission. Instead of elevating the school above the family, Coram Deo Academy partners with families to bring up their children in the training and admonition of the Lord.
- Theological Vision
- Leadership "Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith." Hebrews 13:7
- Our board members form a strong team of faithful servant leaders who direct our school in the pursuit of the true, the beautiful and the good.
- Faculty and Staff"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

School Reviews

CDA has been a blessing to our family. My oldest had a rough first year in public school and now he LOVES his days at Coram. The culture is strong in its love for learning and the pursuit of God. The leadership is passionate about partnering with parents to get involved in every aspect of the school life and educational process. I was able to help with recess, lunch, and field trips on a regular basis. Being able to walk into the school and see the leadership living out their mission is inspiring. No school is perfect, but CDA is committed to growing in Christ's goodness and pursuit of beautiful learning. If you want to be able to be involved with your kid's school and integral in its development, then CDA might be a good fit.

As immigrant parents who have lived in four different countries, we have always sought an educational institution that offers a high-quality education grounded in Christian values. We were extremely pleased to find Coram Deo Academy, a school of classical Christian education that not only meets our expectations but exceeds them. The classical and Bible-based teaching approach provides our children with a solid foundation in moral and ethical values, which is rare to find. Additionally, the teachers have a holistic view of children, caring for their academics as well as their behaviors and inner motivations. Since joining CDA, we could clearly see both our daughters becoming even more passionate about reading classic books, thus greatly expanding their vocabulary and critical thinking. We are deeply grateful for this institution, that has been a blessing to our family. We recommend Coram Deo Academy to all parents who value a high-quality classical Christian education and want the best for their children.

Once you discover Classical Christian education-you never go back. When we moved from Arizona, we specifically looked for a Classical Christian school, and were blessed to have found Coram Deo Academy. Small class sizes, rigorous academics, and where each child is known, loved, and challenged. There is also a very strong sense of community between moms, dads, grandparents, and other families, as well as great events!

Coram Deo Academy is a growing community of families who are committed to the mission of "assisting parents in their biblical duty of training their children by offering academic instruction that is distinctly and consistently Christ-centered and classical." As a parent of a current student at CDA, we love how our child is shown Christ in all areas of life and study. The academic program makes sense, and our son thrives in the engaging curriculum and masterful teachers who live out being contagious Christians, lifelong learners, compelling communicators, creative thinkers and legacy leaders.

We are on out 10th year at Coram Deo and could not be happier! With having 3 kids who have completed their studies at CDA, we have 1 remaining. The teachers are absolutely phenomenal in instructing with a biblical world view, teaching kids HOW to think, not what to think, and always loving on them!

Our family currently has four Coram Deo Academy students, and this is our family`s eighth year at this school! I can count on no more than one hand the number of times my children have ever complained about getting up and heading out the door for school, which we attribute to the rich and fascinating curriculum that Classical Christian education offers, along with the depth of, and number of, relationships our children get to experience with their teachers, classmates, and other CDA families! Our students are known, recognized, and loved by the teachers and administrators at CDA, and we, as a family, are quite grateful for the opportunity to embark upon this journey with the Coram Deo community.
