Coram Deo Academy of Dallas, established in 2006, is a classical Christian school located near Hillcrest and 635. The CDA Dallas campus serves over 200 families and 480 students in grades PreK-12. We are a University-Model® school, offering both Monday/Wednesday and Tuesday/Thursday programs for students, in addition to robust Electives, Fine Arts, and Athletics that meet on Fridays and after school.








Grammar

Grammar School (PreK-4th) is the foundation of the trivium in classical education. We strive to create a sense of wonder and a love of learning through a Christian worldview lens during these years. The grammar stage focuses on building long-term memory such as phonics rules, spelling rules, and math facts.

Logic

Students in 5th-8th grades move through the Logic stage of the trivium. During this stage, they study the relationship between facts learned during the Grammar stage. Students dialogue with one another as they explore how God reveals himself through the truth, goodness, and beauty present in all subjects.

Rhetoric

The Rhetoric School (Grades 9-12) is the pinnacle of the trivium in PreK-12 Classical education. In the Rhetoric School, students begin to seek wisdom through the content they are learning. Mastery of this stage requires the articulation of learning through oral and written expression. For CDA students this includes, but is not limited to, speeches, debates, papers, working with original source documents, and proofs in mathematics.




Sports & Physical Education

Our Athletics and PE program have options available to every student. Grammar students attend PE on their days at school. Additional Friday PE Electives are available to all ages as well. PreK through 4th grade students play on parent-volunteer led teams that compete in local recreational leagues. Beginning in the 5th and 6th grades, we offer official athletic teams. Students in 5th-6th grades play in the Metro Athletic League, 7th-8th grade students play in the IAA league, and high school students play in TCAF. Current athletic offerings include Girls Volleyball, Soccer, Cross Country, Basketball, Baseball, and Track and Field. Our goal in all competitive Sports is to train students to win with humility and lose with dignity.

Dallas Parent Teacher Fellowship

Our Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF) serves our campus by building a tight-knit community among our families and teachers, supporting our campus administrators and teachers so they can do their work effectively, and advancing our school’s mission. The PTF is the umbrella for all parent volunteer opportunities on our campus. There are a variety of ways to serve with your time and talents. As a CDA Dallas parent, you are a member of our PTF and encouraged to join us!

  • Senior Simeon Lewis is awarded The Trail Life Freedom Award. Lewis fundraised and constructed a Gaga pit for the Dallas Campus.

    Dallas Senior, Simeon Lewis, Receives Trail Life Freedom Award 

     
    CDA Dallas Senior, Simeon Lewis, was recently awarded The Trail Life Freedom Award for his completion of a servant leadership project. Trail Life USA is a Christ-centered organization that provides youth mentorship and character development. The Freedom Award is Trail Life USA’s highest and most prestigious award. The Freedom Award serves as a cumulation of everything Trail Life stands for.  

    For his servant leadership project, Lewis decided to build a Gaga ball pit for Coram Deo Academy Dallas. Not only did Lewis build the Gaga pit of his design, but he also had to fundraise for the project. Lewis sold original artwork and raised around $400 to reach the total amount of money he needed for the project.  

    “I built a CDA Gaga ball pit because I saw a need in the community- I had had conversations with both admin and students about adding a Gaga ball pit for rhetoric school, an idea most of the students were excited about. However, it seemed as though no one was ready to organize the project, so I decided to take it upon myself. I thought it would make a lasting impact on a community I love, hopefully long after I leave, as the pit is designed to be moved to our new campus,” Lewis said.  

    Thank you, Simeon Lewis, for your lasting contribution to Coram Deo Academy, and congratulations on your achievement!  
     
  • 8th Grade Students with Congresswoman Van Duyne in Wasington D.C.

    CDA Dallas 8th Graders Travel to Washington D.C. for Spring Trip

    The 8th grade students have just returned from an unforgettable trip to Washington, D.C., where they explored some of the nation's most historic landmarks. 

    Their visit included a tour of the White House, where they got a glimpse into the daily workings of the executive branch. Highlights of the Museum of the Bible included seeing St. Jerome’s Vulgate and a working replica of the Gutenberg Press, both studied in 3rd grade. They also spent time in several museums, marveling at fascinating exhibits on history, science, and culture. Congressmen Pat Fallon, Ronny Jackson, and Rich McCormick joined Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne on the steps of the Capitol and spoke to our students about their roles, and answered our students' questions. The experience gave students a deeper appreciation of American history and government. They returned home with great memories and an appreciation of all they have learned!
