What is expected of me as a parent in my child’s education?

Coram Deo is intended to help families with the education of their children by providing curriculum and teachers. Our faculty is responsible for providing instruction and while parents are not expected to be experts of a given subject in the curriculum, they are still expected to devote the energy and time necessary to work with their kids through the curriculum and read the assigned books during the at-home days.

Our family is catholic, can we attend Coram Deo?

Yes, you are welcome and encouraged to attend Coram Deo. We ask you to look over the statement of faith and consider if you agree with this statement. The school is Protestant but Bible believing Catholics are welcome to be a part of our community.

How does your philosophy of education differ from other Christian schools?

Coram Deo offers curriculum based on a distinctly classical form of education. This means:

a) the assigned readings are focused heavily on the great works of the western canon

b) the curriculum follows the stages of the trivium (grammar, dialectic, and rhetoric)

c) the curriculum includes Latin as a subject of study.

Do you admit students from non-Christian families?

In order for a student to be admitted at least one parent must sign our school’s statement of faith in agreement that students will be taught according to its stated doctrines, and that parents must not undermine, subvert, or contradict them.

Do you plan field trips, class outings, and other opportunities to learn outside the classroom?

Yes! Our hope is to provide these learning opportunities for students. Whether these experiences are arranged by the Co-Op or by interested parents, we hope to provide our students with opportunities for nature walks, zoo visits, visits to the jobs of parents, park times, trips to museums, etc.
