Rodney Marshall's Biography
Co-Founder
Rodney’s career of Christian leadership began in High School, serving on the school council and as senior class president. During his commencement speech, he spoke on Corinthian’s Chapter 13, saying “I have found the truth and the truth has set me free. As says first Corinthians 13:1 “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but I do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal…“
As his high school’s Varsity Baseball Captain and Division MVP, he went on to play NCAA Division 1 at Washington State University, hoping eventually to compete in the Major Leagues. His baseball career was cut short due to an injury; and to that injury he attributes a “dramatic re-firing of [his] Christian faith.” It was then that he found a fresh calling to advance the Kingdom.
He graduated with honors from Washington State University’s College of Business and Economics; and went on to earn his Masters of Divinity and Master of Arts. Mr. Marshall is currently pursuing a Doctor of Education.
Rodney became an ordained minister and has served as an associate pastor and as a Presbyterian elder. He came to work for School of Tomorrow as Director of Global Development and Youth Programs and as a public speaker for Christian Financial Concepts. Helping to build academies worldwide, Rodney spoke in locations such as Zambia, Russia and the Philippines. He used these opportunities to meet with chief government officials discussing the liberation of private and Christian education. “It was a remarkable time of worldwide education and influence. I found that Christians on every continent greatly desire a Christian education for their children.”
It was at this time that the Marshall’s were approached and asked to create Coram Deo Academy. They knew that the multiple years students spend in school deeply affect their future; and so they answered the call to educate youth in an historic classical Christian Worldview.
While launching the school, Rodney Marshall was still working for Christian Financial Concepts. That first fall, he travelled to and spoke in every Canadian Province, “burning the candle at all 3 ends.” The Marshall’s both spent and still spend hours speaking on education, its value and purpose. During Coram Deo Academy’s first few years, Rodney and Robi put their money where their mouths were, placing the cost of the school on their personal credit cards.
Now that over ten years have passed and Coram Deo has grown from 57 students to beyond a thousand, Rodney and Robi have gone on to create a consulting business for classical Christian schools aspiring to take the renewal of classical Christian education “from boutique to bodacious.” Because as Mr. Marshall says, “Transformative education is the best way to transform the future.”

Perhaps, Mr. Marshall and his staff should care enough to carefully check out who they are hiring to instruct these vulnerable young kids. Haven't they heard of Google?? He should search her name, Stephanie Weinzierl and perhaps add Quatloos to the search and find out the truth and see how she has shown her love for others. The truth would set those children free and see them under different tutelage.
