Coram Deo Classical Academy offers an invitation to families who want more for their children. Classical Education is the tried-and-true method that successfully educated students of the Western World for thousands of years. The Classical approach is what produced the great thinkers, writers and leaders of Europe and America up through the 19th century. Now the return to Classical Education is a phenomenon that is sweeping the country as Christian parents and educators find their way back to an approach that really works and leads to academic success.

Coram Deo is different because it offers an education that is distinctly Christian and Classical, the only one of its kind in the Rio Grande Valley.

• It is Christian in that everything that is taught is based on a Christian worldview. The Christian worldview is essential once you realize that ALL education is pointing toward some pre-determined set of truths. Those truths are either based on some person’s idea of truth or on Truth itself. Since the Lord is Truth, all truth derives from Him, and learning deeply leads us into a deeper understanding of Him, which is the path to wisdom.


• It is Classical since the instructional method is derived from Ancient Greece and Rome, and has been used throughout the Western World up until the last 100-150 years. This method is based on stages of learning which correspond to a child’s natural stages of development and potential. The students acquire a solid foundation of information with which to think, reason, and communicate, moving gradually from Knowledge to Understanding to Wisdom.


• It is Classical based on the program of study. Classical study from ancient times was interested in the development of the whole person. Therefore, students are trained in Art, Music, and Physical Education as well as more traditional subjects including Math and Science. Classical Education invites students into a deep historical perspective through a detailed study of History, Literature, Latin and Writing. This attention to detail produces students who excel in every area.


• It is Christian because at its heart is development of Christian character. No academic program can be successful unless the hearts of students are motivated to do what is right and to give their best. This is impossible without the partnership of family with school. Students at Coram Deo are held accountable by both teachers and parents, gently guided into Discipline and Diligence.

You are invited to visit Coram Deo Classical Academy and see what makes them different. Coram Deo offers an intimate setting, small class sizes and a family atmosphere. It is exciting to anticipate the future impact of the student leaders now being trained at Coram Deo, the inevitable impact of disciplined people of integrity.
