Plano Campus |

Chapel

Grammar, Logic and High School students and teachers have chapel services once a month. The purpose of chapel is to bring students together for a time of corporate worship and a message that focuses on the greatness of God and His work in our lives in a way that would be applicable to Coram Deo students. This time is designed to heighten our awareness of Christ and integrate Him more into our everyday lives.

Parent Community

In Collin County we have several ways for parents to be involved and build community with the teachers and each other. The best way to do this is through the PTF, Parent Teacher Fellowship. The PTF serves CDA in three primary ways. First, they serve as a volunteer base for many of the activities that happen in the classrooms, such as Room Moms, class parties, and Hot Lunch service. Secondly, they help equip the school through fundraising. They strive to make our fundraisers fun for the students, but also easy on the parents. Our most successful is the Hot Lunch program. We use caterers, like Chick-fil-A, that the children like, and the parents look forward to not having to make a lunch one day a week! Lastly, and most importantly, our PTF organizes a monthly prayer meeting to pray for the school – students, faculty and administrators. If you are an enrolled family at the Collin County campus, you are already a member of the PTF, so come and join us!

3rd Graders Learn about Illuminations
9/18/2020
In history, our 3rd graders learn about the Middle Ages and early Church history. One of the fun activities associated with this course of study is creating their own illuminations. Early Christian scribes would bring beauty to the hand-written pages of Scripture by turning letters into works of art.. Here, our own students create beautiful letters of their initials.

Have you ever wondered– What is the purpose of all of the hours of memorization, tests, and assignments that you have to work through as CDA families? Our mission is to raise up ethical servant leaders and wise thinkers who will shape culture for the glory of God. The CDA-Collin County Commencement is an opportunity to see all this come together as you watch our students prepare for the next season of life. Whether you are a pre-K or 11th grade family (or anywhere in between), please plan on joining us for this day and prepare to be encouraged! Over the next several months, we will be featuring our class of 2021 seniors to give you an opportunity to meet them before you join us for the celebration May 15. This week’s featured senior is Trey Bergstrom.

Siblings: Cole Bergstrom (Class of 2019), Bryn Bergstrom (7th)

Grade started CDA: 2nd

Activities while in HS : Worship band for church and school, Club Soccer, Varsity Co-ed Soccer, Track, Choir, Firehouse Subs employee

Favorite moment at CDA: My favorite memory from CDA was participating in the first ever Collin County Rhetoric School soccer team. I will always have fond memories of being able to play the sport that I love with my best friends.

Possible career path: Business

How has CDA prepared you to be an ethical servant leader and wise thinker in order to shape culture for the glory of God? The relationships I have made with both teachers and students while at CDA, along with participating in various different electives have taught me what Christian leadership looks like. Along with this, the Theology I and II classes have helped me in building, a firm, logical foundation for my beliefs.

Also this year, we are adding the opportunity to "Fly Your Flag" in the CDA gym for the year. If you have a university you are particularly fond of, you can contribute to the Athletics Fund to see your school's flag flying in our gym all year long.
