Academy expands offerings to meet needs DFW-wide
Families who want a private education, but find it financially out of their reach, or who want to home-school their children may wish to take advantage of a new option offered from Coram Deo Academy – Coram Deo @ Home. This program has the same classical curriculum enrolled students study at the Academy, but is designed to be fully instructed by parents at home. The new program will be introduced for the 2009-2010 academic year for grades one to eight in all subjects and grades nine to 12 in on-line mathematics.

This program is in addition to two other options offered by the Academy to help meet individual and family needs:

Environmental stewardship encouraged

[Flower Mound, Texas – Nov. 15, 2008]  Thanks to Coram Deo Academy Senior Matthew Thiede, butterflies now have a permanent home at the school’s Flower Mound campus.  Registered as Monarch Butterfly Waystation #2721 by the Monarch Watch organization, the Lepidoptera Garden was created by Thiede as an Eagle Scout project.  Mr. Theide organized a work day which drew most of the basketball team, fellow scouts and other classmates.  The students brought plants, trellises and benches to create the waystation.

Anyone who’s ever been in a cavern or cave, regardless of the season, knows that the temperature within that cavern is always constant, usually between 65 and 70 degrees, despite the temperature or humidity outside.   It’s the natural principle of geothermal heat, where the combined heat from the sun and the coolness of the earth makes the temperature constant.

                It’s that principle of nature that Coram Deo Academy is planning to use as an alternate way to heat and cool its planned expansion, according to Trent Clark, an architect with A Plus Design Group of Flower Mound.  Recently, the Group drilled a geothermal test well to determine the conductivity of the soil, which will help in the design of the system at the Flower Mound campus. 

[Mansfield, Texas – Nov. 7, 2008]  Students from Coram Deo Academy High School of Flower Mound recently participated in a day long pre-Halloween speech and debate tournament.

[Flower Mound, Texas – Nov. 7, 2008]  Tune in on Tuesday, Nov. 11, at 12:31 p.m., as Headmaster Rodney Marshall “steps up to the mic” on Dallas Station KLIF, 570 AM.  Mr. Marshall will speak with John Criswell, former television news broadcast anchor, about the continued importance of a private Christian education in these troubled economic times. This segment follows the local news at 12:30 p.m..

 “We certainly understand that a private education can be financially challenging,” said Mr. Marshall, “but the education of a child is the most important investment on earth.  At Coram Deo, we believe passionately in our mission to train ethical leaders and wise thinkers who will shape culture for the glory of God.  It is these young people, sharp, purposeful, creative thinkers, who will grow into positions of leadership and who, ultimately, will help to heal not just our economy, but our world.”
