  Christian, Collaborative Education, A Model That Endures to the Next Generation

  5/1/2024
  For many CDA Dallas parents, classical, Christian, collaborative education is entirely new. My first real exposure to a University-Model® education was through my husband, Jared. For Jared, and two other CDA Dallas parents, Andrew and Ana Bobo, the University-Model® was not a new concept. It was a concept that profoundly impacted their education and spiritual formation. These three parents graduated in 2008 from the first University-Model® school in the country, Grace Preparatory Academy.

  Collin County Holds First 5th Grade Science Fair

  4/24/2024
  On Thursday, April 18^th the 5^th grade held science fair at our gym.  During the year, the students studied the lives and great discoveries of over 25 scientists of the Industrial Age. For the fair, they each chose a scientist to focus on.  The students then created an experiment or a project to demonstrate their scientist's discovery.  Students performed experiments, such as elephant toothpaste to demonstrate the use of a catalyst, filling balloons with various gasses to demonstrate Avogadro's Law, mixing light colors like Maxwell, and using a small Tesla coil with various objects.  They demonstrated fermentation by making pickles, sourdough bread, ketchup and root beer.  They made maglev train models, faraday cages, motors, circuits, and more.  The students presented their projects to other students, parents, and teachers.  We hope they carry a love for God's creation and a wonder at the complexities of our world throughout their years at CDA and beyond.

  Mr. Thacker and I are so proud of our amazing students!  They played so musically and made an impressive mark on the contest.  Here are some of the comments from the judges:

   

  "You are doing so many wonderful musical things!  Your overall approach to your program is very mature and demonstrates a deep understanding of how music works!"

   

  "The band does so many things well.  It was refreshing hearing your performance.  It was a true musical performance."
