Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Coram Deo Academy Flower Mound considering relocating its current campus to a different site in Flower Mound?
Relocating the current campus creates the space needed to better serve students through academics, fine arts, athletics, outdoor learning, and community life. The current campus is landlocked, and many school activities require students and families to travel to rented facilities throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area. A unified campus would allow more of the Coram Deo experience to happen in one place.
Coram Deo Academy’s Flower Mound campus is designed to serve 756 students in Pre-K through 12th grade at full capacity. The school currently serves approximately 726 students from about 250 families. The opportunity to relocate the campus will not change the size or character of CDA FM.
What is planned for the proposed campus?
The campus is still in the conceptual planning stage. The long-term vision includes academic facilities, fine arts spaces, athletic facilities, outdoor learning areas, and other features that support Coram Deo’s educational mission.
Specific building sizes, locations, access points, and phasing will continue to evolve through design, fundraising, and the Town approval process.
What will the Town consider when reviewing the application?
The project will be subject to the Town of Flower Mound’s applicable review and approval processes. Those processes may include zoning, site planning, engineering, environmental, traffic, and building-permit review.
Coram Deo will continue refining the plan in coordination with Town staff, consultants, and the community as appropriate.
How are Coram Deo Academy and Knights Landing Flower Mound connected?
The existing zoning on the property covers more than just the land where the proposed campus would be located. CDA is working with the housing developer for the tracts of land on the East and West sides for the rezoning efforts. This allows for the thoughtful consideration of entrances, landscaping, infrastructure, construction timing, and the overall character of the property from the beginning. The goal is to create a thoughtful, cohesive setting for Coram Deo families, future Knights Landing homeowners, and the neighbors who already live nearby. Coram Deo Academy and Knights Landing Flower Mound will remain distinct, and the project timelines will operate independently after zoning.
Will the project create additional traffic?
Traffic and access will be evaluated as part of the Town’s review process, with the goal of providing safe, orderly movement for students, families, staff, visitors, and surrounding traffic.
How will parking be handled?
Parking needs will be evaluated as part of the site-planning and Town review process. The campus plan will include parking and circulation designed for daily school operations and appropriate on-campus events.
Will there be bright stadium lighting?
The project team is knowledgeable regarding Dark Sky-initiatives and is planning lighting strategies accordingly. The project is designed to use lighting approaches appropriate for the surrounding community and conservation setting. Final lighting specifications will be determined during the design and Town review process.
How does the project approach preservation of trees and open space?
Preserving open space and integrating the campus into the natural setting are important goals. CDA FM intends to use the property in a way that supports outdoor learning and maintains the character of the conservation area. The site plan is being developed with the goal of preserving existing trees wherever practical.
Will members of the community be able to use the new campus?
Coram Deo values being a good community partner and currently makes certain school spaces available, when appropriate, to community organizations and local groups. The school intends to continue to support the local community regardless of its physical location.
What would be included in the first phase of construction?
Relocating the campus is intended to create a better balance among academics, fine arts, athletics, outdoor learning, and community life. The current campus lacks facilities for athletics and fine arts. Therefore, current Phase 1 plans include the addition of athletics and fine arts facilities.
When could construction begin?
The project remains in the investigation, planning, and entitlement stages. This decision will be made once we determine the feasibility of relocating the campus.
A timeline that assumes no roadblocks would have the earliest realistic construction date in the Spring of 2028.
How long will it take to build the proposed campus?
The complete vision is a long-term project that could be developed over approximately 15 to 25 years. The school expects the campus to evolve in phases as funding and needs allow.
