School Notes

How is Classical Christian Education different?
  • Time-tested methods that have been staples in Western culture and the Church since the second century.
  • Students cultivate an interest in first principles and ultimate purposes.
  • A tone of inspiration, fulfillment, joy, and respect are visible throughout.
  • An emphasis on cultivating wisdom rather than just teaching facts and skills.
Through intellectual and spiritual integration, students develop a thoroughly Christian worldview. We take a more integrated approach to literature, art, history, science, math, and theology with the latent philosophies of each subject brought to the forefront. Rather than confining Christianity to a Bible class, we view all subjects through the lens of Scripture.Cornerstone Academy's curriculum prepares students for AP and honors classes when they reach upper grades.
