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!
