Coram Deo Academy (Flower Mound Campus)

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.

The mission of Coram Deo Academy is to "train ethical servant-leaders and wise thinkers who will shape culture for the glory of God". Coram Deo Academy educates youth in a historic Christian worldview through a rigorous classical curriculum and partners with parents committed to their Biblically ordained role as the primary instructors of their children. CDA will focous on people, programs and resources to accomplish its mission:

• By supporting an excellent, market-compensated, and distinctly Christian faculty trained in their field through stimulating professional development and frequent collaborative opportunities,
• By implementing a district-wide approach to spiritual development that equips students to love the Lord their God with all their heart, mind, soul and strength (Mark 12:30), by ensuring that regular opportunities exist for students to participate in the great spiritual disciplines, by mentoring students towards growth in spiritual life, by responding pastorally to the needs of students and faculty, and by communicating the spiritual needs of the student body with teachers, staff, and administration,
• By implementing a district-wide approach to character development that equips students to love their neighbors as themselves (Mark 12:31), by providing opportunities to love and care for other believers on each campus, by emphasizing servant leadership as modeled by Jesus Christ, by celebrating the fruit of the Spirit in the lives of our students, and by presenting opportunities to serve, shape, and evangelize the world around us,
• By mentoring parents and optimizing collaboration through open communication that is frequent, timely and relevant, by providing classical Christian training to parents, and by offering instructional resources to families to strengthen in-home instruction,
• By increasing stakeholder knowledge of classical Christian education, and by creating and refining both our methods of instruction and curriculum materials in order to better promote the knowledge and love of truth, beauty, and goodness,
• By establishing athletics as an integral part of student development through a culture of competitive excellence, that is Kingdom centered, principle driven, and people focused,
• By providing a cohesive fine arts program that ministers to families, fosters the whole student, and functions as a Christian outreach to our community, and by helping the students understand that their creativity is a gift from the Creator,
• By ensuring standardized and well managed operations, governed by policy, transparent to Board oversight, and flexible enough to meet the needs of a growing school,
• By building and maintaining attractive, CDA-branded facilities through good stewardship to have optimized learning and extra-curricular environments, including flexible specialized-needs space, athletic space with visual appeal, timely renovations, effective security, and managed traffic flow,
• By creating an integrated development program coordinated to encourage stewardship giving and grants for capital improvements, operational needs, financial aid, debt reduction, and endowments from both internal and external friends of the school.

Coram Deo Academy’s collaborative approach to education, founded in the conviction that parents have the primary responsibility for their children’s education, creates a true parent-teacher partnership. A CDA education requires a level of parental involvement second only to full-time homeschooling. All of the material is taught initially in the classroom by highly qualified CDA instructors. Students then complete work on their at-home days with the supervision and support of their parents. Parents are able to reinforce the concepts, extend and enrich the content being studied, and make sure each student is fully prepared each day.

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.
