Statement of Request For the past t4 years,CDA has been a tenant and cohabitant to a local church.This was always meant to Coram Deo Academy is seeking a Use Variance in order to operate a be a temporary solution,and now CDA is ready to acquire its own facility as a long-term,established private school at 525 Congressional Boulevard. It will offer pre-K through home in which to continue its mission.This new facility will accommodate CDA's growth to offer grades re K throughtwelfthgrade,and it will convey to ourparents and the surroundingcommunity. 12th grade instruction. A private school is not permitted under the Cannel P ey stability Unified Development Ordinance Section 2.21 and Appendix A in a B-2 zone CDA will add grades nine through twelve each year as our current eighth graders progress,so that by May district. Total number of students will be 338. Hours of operation will be of 2026.we will graduate young adults that have been well-educated to be thoughtful and knowledgeable am and school starts at 8:00. citizens in our community.One of the differentiators in grades nine through twelve is a planned 7 45 am to 4:30 pm. Drop off begins at 7:45 apprenticeship model.It actually makes good sense that this new facility is located in a corporate center, Pickup begins at about 3:15 pm and lasts until about 3:30 pm. Clubs and where hardworking graduates will spend the majority of their lives after they leave school. extracurriculars would be after school until about 4:3o pm. As an Academy,we aim to be a good citizen and better neighbor.Prior to COVID,we would go sing to seniors at assisted living facilities in Carmel.Last year.we went door to door in the neighborhood around Carmel Friends Church and sang Christmas carols.We do field trips to local businesses and parks demonstrating how we partner with neighbors to help educate our students. Statement of Support The City of Cannel has demonstrated well the importance of offering the best education.Great educational options draw best-in-class workers.families,and investment.Just in the last few months,we The property is ideally suited for the school in terms of location and have met a new family that was looking for Classical,Christian education for their children when moving physical facilities. Cannel's draft Comprehensive Plan supports healthful here from Seattle.Another family who toured our school is moving to Cannel from the United Kingdom. Even in the midst of the very best school system in the State of Indiana,there can be interest in CDA and a living by,among other factors,education access and quality. This facility place for it alongside other great organizations and institutions. will provide Cannel residents with another educational option for their The parents and grandparents at CDA(many of whom work in business,healthcare,and public service in children. Carmel),know the importance of raising up a capable and committed generation to which we can"pass the torch."We all want to see this wonderful city thrive after we are gone.We are preparing the next generation to value and care for the people and things around them.What we sow today,they will reap after us.If we sow sparingly,they will reap sparingly.So let us be generous with the resources that have been entrusted to us in this moment,and they will reap bountifully in the years to come. One such resource is the building and land at 525 Congressional Boulevard.CPA would be honored to steward this resource as the long-term home for our mission,and CDA would be thankful for the City of Carmel's support in a use variance to make this possible.We have a deal structured with an individual who already has investments in Cannel to accommodate CDA initially as a tenant,with a path to being the sole owner of the facility over the next several years.CDA is ready to convert this unused office building into a vibrant academic institution that demonstrates how Christ-centered and classical education can strengthen a community. 8 VICINITY MAY - CORAM DEO ACADEMY VICINITY MAP - CORAM I)EO ACADEMY f4. ., ,., ��� 0' i` Financial services r.;:.moor term,:;• j -.�sss '. 0/� a B2 ��!
