Christ-Centered Classical
Education
All education is discipleship. Whoever is educating your child is discipling them.
- Dr. Voddie Baucham
We aren’t simply teaching students. We’re shaping people.
Everything we do here at Coram Deo Academy is discipleship aimed at cultivating godly virtue and character in the hearts and minds of our students. Our graduates are prepared to enter their world as men and women ready to engage culture as leaders and speak truth winsomely.
Classical education is a timeless model of educating students according to their frame; teaching them in the ways they learn best at each stage of development. We pursue excellence in a disciplined environment and joy in understanding the world in the light of Scripture and the good news it proclaims.
Everything we study finds its ultimate integrated center in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Everything we do is Coram Deo, a Latin phrase which means “in the presence of God.”
“Blessed are the people who know the festal shout,
who walk, O Lord, in the light of your face,
who exult in your name all the day
and in your righteousness are exalted.”
Psalm 89:15-16
Coram Deo Academy is a full member of the Association of Classical Christian Schools.

Prepared for Life
The Association of Classical Christian Schools finds that students who experience a classical Christian education score higher in gratitude, hopefulness, and ability to handle adverse situations.
Christian classical education is the cultivation of wisdom and virtue by nourishing the soul on truth, goodness, and beauty by means of the seven liberal arts so that the student, in Christ, is better able to know, glorify, and enjoy God.
What Our Parents Are Saying
“Our son has been challenged intellectually in such a way that he is always excited to learn more and to demonstrate to us what new knowledge he has gleaned. Learning has become a great pleasure for him and he’s grown by leaps and bounds both academically and personally.”
