Cornerstone School offers a K-12 Christian education in a small, peaceful environment.
Our students learn within a self-paced system, working independently of each other within multi-grade learning centers.
Our educational philosophy is structured around building relationships with our students and discipling them into their relationship with Jesus Christ.
We encourage each student to take ownership of their education, and to learn the value of continued effort.

My daughter loves it here! She has many friends and Christian morals and values are reflected on her from these friends and the teachers. Mr & Mrs B are wonderful!

Cornerstone is more than a school, it becomes a family. The teachers are highly invested in each student and peer relationships form that last a lifetime. I attended Cornerstone from kindergarten through 12th grade and received an outstanding education. I was well equipped for the independent study required in college. As an educator myself, I highly recommend Cornerstone!

Enrolling our children at Cornerstone School was the best decision we have ever made. The teachers genuinely love and care for the students well being. They work so hard to ensure each student succeeds. The school is more like a community as everyone is willing to help wherever it's needed. The education level is high and really fosters success. Mr B really helps students think outside the box and this encourages kids to be able to think for themselves. I promise you will not regret having your children attend Cornerstone School.
