Academy Overview
Coram Deo Academy is incorporated in the State of Texas as a non-profit corporation, exempt under section 501(c)3 of the IR Code. Charitable contributions made to CDA are tax deductible.
CDA is governed by a Board of Directors that under God seeks to develop policies and approaches consistent with the Word of God for the glory of God. The board has adopted an approach to board governance modeled after The Carver Institute Policy Governance Model*. The board develops policies regarding the ends (mission and affect of CDA) and means for accomplishing them through four broad policy categories; ends, governance process, management delegation and executive limitations. Through this approach, the CDA Board expects to provide for long-term organizational success even during times of board or executive succession.
* "Policy Governance® is the world's most complete theoretical foundation for the board's governance role in business, nonprofit (NGO), and government organizations. Policy Governance is an integrated set of concepts and principles that describes the job of any governing board. It outlines the manner in which boards can be successful in their servant-leadership role, as well as in their all-important relationship with management. Unlike most solutions to the challenge of board leadership, its approach to the design of the governance role is neither structural nor piecemeal, but is comprehensively theory based. The model covers all legitimate intentions of corporate governance codes (including Sarbanes-Oxley), but in a far more comprehensive, theory-based manner."
