Coram Deo Academy

Careers

Our Story

Coram Deo started was started in 2008 by a group of committed and sacrificial families who wanted something different for their children. They shared two common values: young people matter and education is critical. Rather than outsourcing this biblical responsibility to the government, the Coram Deo founders saw the Classical Christian curriculum and methodology as the best way to form the next generation. Since 2008, students have participated in Guilds, presented their Senior Thesis projects to panels, and been nourished on a robust curriculum of Great Books, Latin, and Logic. The school’s graduates have successfully launched into their college and careers and credit their Classical Christian education with much of their success.

What We Do

We are a Classical Christian school that takes forming the next generation seriously. We exist to assist Hamilton County parents in their duty of biblically training their children by offering academic instruction that is distinctly and consistently Christ-centered and classical.

The value we offer includes:

Our Graduates Say…

Sophia King

Coram Deo helped me as a scholar by providing a rigorous curriculum & high expectations from my teachers, requiring a great deal of dedication to my school work. The community of strong believers helped grow me in my faith, allowing me to be open with others and comfortable sharing Christ with others. CDA also showed me how Christ is preeminent in all areas of life.

Allison Clodgo

The older I get, the more thankful I become for the education Coram Deo has provided me. I have learned how to reason logically, persuade effectively & communicate clearly and with grace.

Sam Sites

Scholarship is about asking questions and pursuing truth. I think Classical Christian education instills intellectual curiosity & reassurance that truth exists.
