Portrait of a Graduate
Coram Deo Academy endeavors to be a school that cultivates graduates who possess a deep and abiding faith in Christ, who view the world through the lens of Scripture, and who are equipped to engage the world for the glory of God. As we motivate our students to a life of godliness, wisdom, and virtue, we keep these themes at the forefront, and we use them as we construct our curriculum, engage in our teaching, and foster our school culture.
Coram Deo Academy’s success is not measured by looking at test scores, grades, or college admissions. These are important and are a byproduct of excellent academic instruction, but they are not pre-eminent. The ultimate measure of our success is whether our graduates maintain a life-long covenantal relationship with Christ that impacts all areas of life. Do they make their faith their own and then live it out in a way that brings glory to God?
