The mission of Cornerstone Christian School is the education of children through the development of mind, body and spirit from a Christian perspective.

Cornerstone Christian School intentionally has a low pupil/teacher ratio. We serve pre-3 through 6th grade in a traditional classroom setting.

Our main goal is to help each child reach their potential and to motivate them to learn.

The purpose of Cornerstone Christian School is to aid parents in fulfilling their responsibility under God to train their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

The school assumes that each home being served is Christian in atmosphere and in lifestyle.

The school's purpose is to reinforce the Godly training, which has already begun at home.

Second, it expects each parent to exhibit a high level of involvement, interest, and responsibility for the school, and accountability for their child’s educational experience.

It is the purpose of Cornerstone Christian School to teach children that Jesus is preeminent in all of life, and that the world must be assessed according to Scriptural precepts.

All instruction shall be integrated with the knowledge of God and His authorship of all truth. Cornerstone Christian School helps children develop their gifts and talents primarily through spiritual growth and academic opportunity.
