About

Coram Deo Academy is an accredited, non-denominational, private school serving Christian families at three locations in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex. We desire to collaborate with parents in training their children to be ethical servant leaders and wise thinkers who will shape culture for the glory of God. Apart from Christ, we cannot have true wisdom.

Admissions

"I love the conversations I have with my children. I love their love for history, for the world, for His Word. I love how they interact with strangers, for the kindness that they show, and for how they are learning to learn, learning to succeed, learning to fail, learning to be gracious. I truly think that this model is the best of all worlds ."

- CDA Parent

Academics

"The end then of learning is to repair the ruins of our first parents by regaining to know God aright, and out of that knowledge to love him, to imitate him, to be like him, as we may the nearest by possessing our souls of true virtue, which being united to the heavenly grace of faith makes up the highest perfection."
- John Milton

Campuses

Coram Deo Academy has three campuses in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex - Collin County (Plano, TX), Dallas, and Flower Mound. Although each campus has its own personality, we purpose to be 3 campuses and one school. The mission, vision, policies and curriculum are the same at each Coram Deo Academy campus.

We are CDA!!! from Coram Deo Academy on Vimeo.

Coram Deo Academy is committed to the continued development of students outside the home and classroom. The lessons learned around the dinner table, discovered through biblical readings, and taught in the classroom need an extended platform for full development.

The challenges and conflicts provided by athletics provide that platform. Our programs are designed to assist in the development of character and integrity in our students. These traits are encouraged and developed in a safe environment with like-minded coaches who support parental authority.

Our athletic philosophy is principle driven, development purposed, and effort rewarded. We believe the practice of biblical principles will create the discipline needed to live a successful life for Christ. We believe the combination of academic and athletic programs provides an effective tool in the development of a well-rounded person.
