Overview
Ambleside Concho Valley has been serving San Angelo and the surrounding Concho Valley since 2003. Here are the fundamentals of our school.
Ambleside is a Christ-centered, K through 12th grade school located in San Angelo, Texas. As part of Ambleside Schools International, we are one of 25 Member Schools across the world.
The philosophy of education developed by British educator Charlotte Mason shapes our curriculum and method. Her focus on engaging children with the best of creation and attention to habit-formation are models that remain relevant and poignant in guiding today's children toward lives of purpose, character and excellence.
Class sizes are limited to 16 students, with one class per grade, so that every student and every teacher can be personally mentored in a warm supportive community of families.
We follow a traditional school calendar, with class from late August through May, from 7:50 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. on Mondays Fridays.
Ambleside Schools International seeks to build and to serve a worldwide community of schools and training centers that provide what Charlotte Mason called a "living education," guiding and empowering students, parents and teachers to author lives which are full and free, rich in relationship to God, self, others, ideas, and all of creation.
Cornerstone is the premier private pre-K through 12th grade, fully accredited, non-denomiational school in San Angelo.
We are committed to developing world-changing, academically excellent leaders, who are transformed by God and His word.
Cornerstone teaches an academically challenging curriculum from a Biblical worldview; God is real and the Bible is true.
Our core values are faith, excellence, character, service, leadership, family and love.
And, since we are saved by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ, we apply this same grace to all with whom we encounter and it is the bedrock of each of our core values.
