Thank you for your interest in Coram Deo Academy where professional educators collaborate with parents to educate Christian youth to live all of life coram deo. This Latin phrase means “before God” or “in God’s presence” and describes our intent: all our endeavors, all of our studies are to be done in God’s presence and to His glory.

As you begin exploring the many educational options available to you, we trust that this website will introduce you to our program and whet your appetite for learning more at a Campus Visit Day or Evening Information Meeting.

 

The links on this page are stops on a journey which we hope ends at Coram Deo’s doors. This blog is designed to help you on your way; you are receiving it in response to your request for school information. If you do not wish to receive regular notices from CDA, you may unsubscribe at any time.

 

“Coram Deo Academy educates youth in a historic world view through a rigorous classical curriculum. Our mission is to train ethical leaders and wise thinkers who will shape culture for the glory of God.”

In the words of my husband and household bard, Greg Rogers, consider how the academy’s mission will prepare your child for his or her life’s calling:

 

Coram Deo Academy, a school for head and heart

As Virgil said to Dante, “It is the place to start.”

With that allusion, and much more, your children will contend

Let this blog be your Virgil, your mentor, and your friend.

 

The tools of learning end with contemplation of the Good

It doesn't always happen but at least it always should.

Here at the beginning, there is toil and sweat and strain

And somewhere in the distance there is Peace and Truth to gain.

 

Classical Christian studies is not an idle boast

It’s oh-so Aristotelian, infused with the Holy Ghost.

It shaped the face of Christendom, and will so once again

As Christian men and women face a newer lion's den.

 

The Philistines have once more sent their giants to the field

And many wise men say that it is wisest just to yield.

But somewhere there's a child, armed with a sling, who stands alone

And laughs at modern terrors, for this school is his stone.
