Board of Trustees

As a Christ-centered institution, Coram Deo Academy seeks leaders who place God as the ultimate leader of the school. Coram Deo means ‘before the face of God’ and its motto, Soli Deo Gloria, means ‘to Him alone be the glory.’ As such, Coram Deo Academy seeks Trustees who live before the face of God and for His glory in their homes, churches, and communities as they serve on the Board.

The CDA Board seeks to preserve, protect and promote our Christ-centered and classical mission to generations yet unborn. They do so by focusing on the strategic, long-term impact of issues and decisions while overseeing the executive leadership of the school entrusted to the Head.
