Our Cross-Country team made a big splash in its entry to the 4A division this season, with all the girls team placing 2nd overall at the TAPPS State Championship Meet.

We want to congratulate the CDA Flower Mound choir students who were recognized for their exemplary performances at the TPSMEA All-Region Choir auditions recently. This was a record-breaking year for our choir program with 16 students making all-region choirs and two more as alternates.

They have worked so hard to refine their God-given talents and we are impressed with all their progress and bravery in sharing their voices. Well done all!

On Thursday, Coram Deo Academy Dallas will host its first-ever, Homecoming volleyball game. This game serves as a milestone for the Dallas campus. Not only does it signify that we now have alumni who can come home to the CDA Dallas community, but it will also be a significant moment to recognize our Senior volleyball players at Senior Night. 

Over the weekend, the CDA Dallas Varsity Volleyball Team competed in their first volleyball tournament and took home first place! 

Last weekend at the TAPPS Track State Championship Meet, Dallas Sophomore, Rylan Lonergan, took home three first-place wins! 

On the Weekend of May 5th, the Collin County's track team participated in the TAPPS State Meet, where at least two students placed 1st in events. 
While overall, Coram Deo Collin County Campus boys team placed 3rd and girls placed 4th, we want to extend a congratulations to all of our State Qualifies, State Medalists and State Champions on their hard work and perseverance throughout the season. The entire team was blessed with great running weather throughout the weekend, as well as a slew of support from family and friends.

In their inaugural visit to TAPPS 3A State Golf Championships with a full team, the CDA Lions Golf Team brought home 3rd Place!  Matthew Langham finished 2nd Overall scoring +2 for the 36-hole tournament.  Carson Brower and Noah Gustovich finished tied for 7th overall!  Meaning CDA has 3 1st Team All-State Golfers with Matthew, Carson & Noah finishing in the top 10!  The team was rounded out with solid performances by Josh Gustovich and Owen Dodson.  Congratulations Lions on a great season!

For many CDA Dallas parents, classical, Christian, collaborative education is entirely new. My first real exposure to a University-Model® education was through my husband, Jared. For Jared, and two other CDA Dallas parents, Andrew and Ana Bobo, the University-Model® was not a new concept. It was a concept that profoundly impacted their education and spiritual formation. These three parents graduated in 2008 from the first University-Model® school in the country, Grace Preparatory Academy. 

On Wednesday, CDA Dallas Class of 2025 Juniors presented their Capstone in Christian Wisdom. The Capstone project and course demanded that they read, think, and write wisely. 

Way to go, CDA Band!

The Collin County Cheerleading team wrapped up the end of their season in a memorable showcase to family, friends and peers. 
Coaches, Brittany Evans and Eryn Hall, both coordinated the Grammar School's elective Friday cheer class to start the show. These cheerleaders in training showed off their learned skills in a lively routine. 
For both Varsity and Junior High teams, there were routines with popular music and incredible stunts from the cheerleaders. 
For CDA, we know that God has given us as His children the abilities to jump and shout for joy, and these girls exemplify this well. 

Congratulations to the CDA FM Symphonic Band! It was an amazing day at Solo & Ensemble competition! We had 19 soloists and 10 small ensembles participating, and EACH made a superior rating, which is the highest rating possible. In addition, we had 14 soloists and 7 of our small ensembles advance to the State Solo and Ensemble Competition, which takes place May 25!  To be able to advance to State is an honor and speaks very highly of the musicianship of our students. The TPSMEA president made a comment when we were checking out at the end of the day that CDA was cleaning him out of medals! 

This week, with the help of the 4th graders, PreK students made bird feeders to hang on a branch outside to view the winter birds in the area.

Last week, our Collin County second grade classes participated in the annual Grammar School History Festival.
Those second graders presented all about the Greek culture, art, sports, and philosophers. 
The second graders work diligently all year to be ablet to make it to these fests that are put on as a showcase for parents and friends. They start by reciting a song they've been learning in class, but all of them have memorized the Nicene Creed by memory. This impressive feat for second graders accumulates the standard that CDA holds, as we also live by this Nicene Creed in and out of the classroom. 
Next, these students recite their also memorized Greek alphabet! From A-Z or Alpha to Omega, these smart students showcased their studies in strides. 
Each student also had a personal presentation on one of the forementioned categories, explaining the history, people, and giving examples behind all of them. For example, some female students did a presentation over Greek makeup and jewelry, describing where the Greek women would find and how they would make the ingredients for the makeup. 
For some male students, they would give cunning and descriptive notes of the Olympic games or accounting the Greek Gods.
To hear these very intuitive second graders stand up on their own and speak clearly, owning their education that is presented, it is a privilege to see just where the University Model of CDA can take them! 
Our teachers, parents and families have been well-involved in their process the whole year, and we want to thank all of them for their hard work also.

Congratulations Koert Bouma, Luke Hulme, and Jacob Turner for outstanding scores at last week's TAPPS Regional Meet!

January 4-7, 8th grade CDA Dallas students traveled to Washington D.C. to extend their learning far beyond the classroom walls. Students enjoyed sightseeing with tours of the White House, the Capitol, Museum of the Bible, and National Archives - just to name a few!  

Over Thanksgiving Break, twenty-five CDA Dallas families joined in for the first ever CDA Dallas Turkey Trot benefitting CDA Athletics.  

Congratulations to the 2023 CDA Dallas Fall Academic All-State Recipients!

In December 2023, the Collin County Drama Department performed William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream". A great feat for the department, this play brought with it incredible set design that transported one right into the scenery, as well as outstanding performances by the cast and crew. 
Led by Dean of Students, Mr. Armstrong, the Drama department spent hours rehearsing and creating a magical Shakespearian world. These incredible photos were taken by Emily Faux, Senior '24. 

For CDA, these are the moments where the Classical and Collaborative nature of the school comes into full illumination. We are grateful for the hard work of these students, leaders, and parents who all were invested in making this show a success. 

Congratulations to CDA Flower Mound freshman, Levi Robertson! At TMEA Area auditions on Saturday, Levi was selected 1st chair French horn and earned a seat at the TMEA 6A All-State Band.
