Lower School
Our Lower School is comprised of Kindergarten - 5th Grade. Our dedicated faculty and staff partner with parents in the process of educating the whole child- spiritually, academically, and socially in a balanced educational environment.
Through hands-on curriculum, students are encouraged to develop inquisitive, creative minds, and a joy of learning. Art, movement, music, computers, science, Christian education, and Chapel provide opportunities for students to develop responsibility, self-awareness, and leadership skills. Technology is integrated into the daily curriculum to give students an optimal learning experience. Community service, after school programs, and extended day all enrich life and daily learning.
Middle School
Here at Cornerstone we create opportunities for our students to be lifelong learners both in and outside of the classroom. We seek to nurture teacher and student relationships based on the common goal of learning and growth. Through these classroom experiences our faculty and staff understand that cultivating a sense of connection and belonging with and among our students is a critical step in enabling our students to grow cognitively, socially, and emotionally. With daily Bible classes and weekly Chapel, we strive to show the importance of Christianity and the Word of God.
High School
At Cornerstone, we are dedicated to educating and inspiring our students on a campus that feels like home. Our purpose is to glorify God by partnering with families to educate, inspire, and equip every student to know and serve Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit.
The High School program encompasses grades 9th thru 12th. For students at this level, the primary academic emphasis is life beyond education. We believe in ministering and guiding students through continued academics with an emphasis on Biblical lessons.
