Arma Dei Academy's mission is to glorify God by providing an excellent classical Christian education founded upon a biblical worldview which equips students to live purposefully and intelligently in service to God and others. 
Dear Friends,

After a multi-week candidacy, I am pleased to announce our new Admissions Director, Lora Bowman. Lora joins us with 17 years of experience in high-tech sales and marketing. She is eager to combine this experience in the corporate world with her passion for classical Christian education.

Through her family's experience at Arma Dei, Lora can testify to the transformative power of an education that keeps God at the center and maintains high standards for students. She is excited to support bringing an Arma Dei education to even more families in Highlands Ranch and the surrounding communities after witnessing first hand the impact it's having on her own children.

Though raised in California, Lora was born in Colorado and has had strong family roots here. In 2011, Lora returned home to Colorado with her husband, Jason, to raise their t wo daughters amidst family. Emma (7th grade) and Maddie (5th grade) joined Arma Dei this school year, and are thriving in their new environment.

Please join me in welcoming Lora Bowman in her new role. You may contact her at [email protected].

As ever--
Educating to glorify God.
