Our daughter has been attending Cornerstone Christian School since preschool, and it has been a great experience. The teachers, staff, and all the families are Christ-centered and like-minded. We love that Biblical learning is included in every subject. We are blessed to have found Cornerstone!

Our son has attended Cornerstone Christian School for roughly a decade including preschool. In that time I have seen teachers get tears in their eyes over proud moments as well as the tough times. They truly have a love for the students. They have been there to pray and hug him through everything from skinned knees to difficult emotional days. The teachers and faculty are more like family than a school and I cannot imagine our son anywhere else. In addition, they are extremely impressive academically. This school teaches Godly principles both through instruction and action. I could not recommend Cornerstone Christian School any higher than I do!

Our two children attend Cornerstone and we plan for our third child to start next year. Our experience has been wonderful. It is refreshing to know our children are daily surrounded by a God-honoring administration, teachers, and peers. The school is constantly making strides to add or improve the programs they offer. Academically, my children are challenged but are given the support needed to succeed. The school values discipline and the positive impact is apparent in my children's behavior. This school is a blessing to our kids!

I have a 1st and 2nd grader at Cornerstone, and we love it here. Mr.Batista is an amazing headmaster. The kids have a chance to thrive academically but also with music and art. They are very vigorous with the curriculum, things my kids are learning are way beyond what public schools are teaching. Also, I love that this is a discipleship school and they are really teaching the kids more than Bible stories. I love the teachers, Miss Elliot's class is so beautiful and well-managed. She takes the time to give attention to my son and help him whenever he needs help. My daughter raves about Mrs.Reeves and even though she expects a lot out of the kids, she loves them so much. You can truly tell from the administration to the teachers, that everyone there loves the Lord and the kids!
