Coram Deo Academy

What Coram Deo Academy does

Coram Deo Academy (CDA) is a private, non-profit classical Christian school founded in 1999 in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, operating three instructional campuses (Plano/Collin County, Richardson/Dallas, Flower Mound) and a centralized administrative office in Lewisville, Texas. The school serves PreK through 12th grade across progressive program levels — Grammar School (PreK–4), Logic School (5–8), and Rhetoric School (9–12) — and enrolls over 900 families with a 90%+ re-enrollment rate. Its core academic product is delivered through a "Collaborative University Schedule," a hybrid model in which students attend campus two days per week (Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday) with expert teachers introducing new material, while parents reinforce mastery at home on alternate days using school-provided resources; Friday is reserved for electives, fine arts, and athletics.

The curriculum is a Christ-centered, Trivium/Quadrivium-based classical program with Latin starting in third grade, biblical worldview integrated across subjects, and AP coursework in the Rhetoric School. Supporting technology is conventional third-party edtech infrastructure: Canvas serves as the Learning Management System for Logic School coursework, while Veracross powers school management (admissions, parent portal, giving/donations) and is paired with a Digistorm-hosted website and Google Analytics/AdWords for marketing. No proprietary platform, AI capability, or developer-facing API is offered.

The business model is tuition-driven subscription recurring revenue, with published 2026–2027 annual tuition ranging from $6,535 (PreK) to $11,935 (9th–12), plus a $450 annual security and technology fee per student. Payment plans include annual, semi-annual, or monthly installments, with sibling, pastors', and TEFA (Texas Education Freedom Account) discounts layered in. Customer concentration is entirely in a single segment — professing Christian families in the DFW area — and go-to-market is community-driven, relying on monthly campus tours (October–April), word-of-mouth referrals, and digital marketing rather than online-only enrollment. Reported outcomes include a 77% AP exam pass rate (vs. 55% national average), a 14:1 Rhetoric School student-to-teacher ratio, nearly 99% of graduates attending college directly, and $13 million in scholarships earned by the Class of 2025.

The program is organized into three progressive stages — Grammar School (PreK–4th), Logic School (5th–8th), and Rhetoric School (9th–12th) — and integrates a biblical worldview, Latin instruction from third grade, and the classical Trivium/Quadrivium curriculum with college preparatory outcomes.

Product overview

Coram Deo Academy operates as a unified Classical Christian education system for PreK–12 students, organized into three progressive program levels: Grammar School (PreK–4th), Logic School (5th–8th), and Rhetoric School (9th–12th).

Supporting the core academic program are enrichment offerings including Fine Arts (Band, Choir, Drama, Speech & Debate, Visual Arts, Guitar), Athletics (multiple competitive sports), and Friday Electives.

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Covenant Classical School: Classical Christian school in the Fort Worth area of the DFW metroplex. Directly comparable on classical pedagogy and Christian mission within the same metropolitan region; smaller scale than CDA but competes for the same family segment.
• Liberty Christian School: Large Christian PreK-12 school in Argyle, TX within the DFW North Texas region. Comparable as a faith-based private school serving evangelical families, with overlapping athletics and fine arts offerings.
• Prestonwood Christian Academy: Large non-denominational Christian PreK-12 school in Plano, TX within the same DFW submarket as CDA. Comparable in faith-based mission, tuition-based model, and college-prep orientation, though less classical-Trivium focused.
• Legacy Christian Academy: PreK-12 Christian school in Frisco, TX serving the same DFW evangelical family demographic. Comparable as a faith-based private school in adjacent North Texas communities, though not specifically classical Trivium.

Broad incumbents

• Great Hearts Academies: Multi-state network of classical liberal arts charter schools, with operations in Texas. Comparable in classical pedagogy and curriculum (Trivium-based) but operates as a charter network rather than a private, faith-statement-driven school with a hybrid parent-involved schedule.

Direct peers

• Providence Classical Christian School: Classical Christian school network following a Trivium-based curriculum and Christ-centered mission. Highly comparable in pedagogy, faith-statement admissions, and tuition-based private school model in non-DFW markets.
• Highlands Latin School: Classical Christian K-12 school in Louisville, KY offering a Trivium-based curriculum including Latin. Closely comparable to CDA in pedagogical approach, faith-based mission, and grade-band structure; differs by being a single-campus, five-day model rather than hybrid.
• Cary Christian School: Classical Christian PreK-12 school in Cary, NC following a Trivium-based curriculum. Comparable in mission, classical pedagogy, and tuition-based private school model; serves a similar faith-driven family demographic in a different metro market.

Others

• Classical Conversations: National classical education community and curriculum provider supporting homeschool co-ops and some private affiliates. Overlaps with CDA on classical pedagogy and Christian family target market, but functions as a curriculum/community platform rather than a school operator.
• Memoria Press: Classical Christian curriculum publisher based in Louisville, KY. Supplies much of the classical pedagogy and Latin content used by CDA and similar schools; adjacent rather than competing, but a key ecosystem participant.
