BOOK LIST POSTED
Coram Deo Academy’s 2007-2008 school year book list will be available for purchase from Varsitybooks.com on June 25. The CDA school year book list will be posted on the CoramDeoAcademy website at that same date to guarantee consistency between our posted list and Varsity on-line bookstore.
We understand those of you who like to purchase school year books early. However, you run the risk of purchasing books not consistent with the booklist. We typically have a yearly 5% improvement to our book list, which includes updating editions and adopting better books. This thorough process takes over six months to implement. There will be plenty of time to acquire and familiarize yourself with the books between June 25 and the school orientations beginning the third week of August.
