Students develop critical thinking and reasoning skills while reading and writing about science, calculating, and performing scientific experiments.

Coram Deo Academy offers a robust selection of dynamic science courses for both logic and rhetoric level students. Logic level students study World Geography, Life Science, and Physical Science. At the rhetoric level, all students continue their study of God’s creation through biology, chemistry, and physics. During the junior year, depending on campus specific schedules students may have a choice of Advanced Placement (AP) Chemistry or AP Environmental Science. Senior physics students have the option of taking AP Physics. Students develop critical thinking and reasoning skills while reading and writing about science, calculating, and performing scientific experiments. CDA graduates are prepared for any future field of study, from engineering to pre-medicine.

Earth Science: 6
Life Science: 7

Life science is a Logic Level introduction to biology. The course includes cell processes, cell activity, an overview of taxonomy focusing on plants and animals, human anatomy and body systems, and ecosystems. Students begin an informed and honest conversation on the origins of the universe and human life and how we as Christians should proceed in taking care of God's creation.
Math/Science Lab: 8

In 8th grade, students have two hours a week devoted to a math and science lab. One day a week students have a hands-on lab for Physical Science; the other day they have an Algebra lab designed to teach in a hands-on way the practical and scientific applications of the math they are studying.
Physical Science: 8

Students will study the basic organization and behavior of matter from atoms to energy in God’s created universe, with a focus on Chemistry and Physics. Students will gain an understanding of the basic laws of nature, matter, and energy through inquiry based hands-on investigations.
Science: 5

Using a foundation of famous scientists, this course approaches the study of God’s creation using hands-on, inquiry-based, and discussion-oriented activities.
