We send our three boys here and started our last boy at 18 months old. Cornerstone stands out for its values-centric education, high academic standards, and small class sizes, fostering a community atmosphere. With a focus on holistic development, the school emphasizes character-building, leadership skills, and social responsibility. The caring and dedicated staff ensures a positive learning environment. It is obvious how much the teachers and all the way up to the principal care for these kids. They know every kid's name and will say good morning by name to the kids as they walk through the hallways. Parental involvement is actively promoted, strengthening the school community. With a commitment to faith-based education, Cornerstone provides a well-rounded, values-driven, and academically rigorous experience for students. We are blessed to be here.

From the moment we set foot on campus, Cornerstone has been home for us. Our son has been attending the school since he was in Jr. Preschool and we thank God regularly that we've been blessed enough to keep him there, year after year. The staff and administration really care about the whole student and truly work hard to train them up in excellence while supporting them as they learn academics, biblical truth, and life skills. We have always felt like our son was in very safe and capable hands. We feel appreciated as parents by the school as they make it known that they are fully aware we have a choice about who to entrust with our son's education and they work hard to honor our choice to trust them in that way. They truly partner with parents so that we can all work as a team for the best possible education and life preparation to be experienced by our kiddos! They even pour into the parents in ways that help us to be better parents as we journey through the upbringing of our children together as a team! The programs, activities, curriculum and so many other things are all pieces of a carefully curated set of daily engagements, which is constantly evaluated and tweaked as necessary (with welcome input from the parents and prayerful guidance from God) and we are thrilled to partner with the teachers and administration to pour into not just our child but the generation he is a part of at that school. The only downside I have to share at this time is that it ends at 8th grade. We are so thrilled with having our son at Cornerstone that we pray as much as possible that God will make a way for them to add high school buildings, curriculum, and staff so that our son can benefit from the Cornerstone influence throughout his entire primary school journey. We know that would take some big moves and a lot of help but we are praying God sends them the people and financial resources to make it happen before our second-grader reaches ninth grade. If I could tell just one thing to anyone considering this school it would be this: Every single human on this planet was created for a purpose and this school is, in my opinion, a God-blessed tool for not only determining what that might look like for each child but wholly equipping them to discover all the ways they can live it out and to excel in doing so, to the glory of God! Go take a tour! The day we did has changed our lives forever!

This is my daughter's first year. Coming from a smaller private school this was a big change for her, but she is loving it! The volleyball team included her from day one, and the drama and dance teams are amazing. We love her teacher and the parents have been so welcoming.

We love this amazing school, Corner Stone Christian Academy! My 2 kids go to this school since preschool, all teachers are caring and we are more like live in a big family! Kids have many opportunities to develop their skills! Another great thing we love is kids have opportunities to skip grades as needed! We would like to say "Thank you" to the Principal, Mrs. Kaye, all the teachers and the staff.

This is my children's 3rd year at Cornerstone. They started their Kindergarten with their amazing teacher, Mrs. Darlene Thomas. She definitely made an impact in their young lives. Cornerstone has the right balance of academics, athletics, discipline, and faith. Sending our kids to Cornerstone is one of the BEST decisions we have made in our lives. It is worth the investment. Cornerstone offers a strong foundation for a successful future and a solid Christian faith. Principal Kaye believes in discipline through LOVE & LOGIC which we follow at home. We feel proud sending our children to an established school with an impressive reputation. We plan to keep our children at Cornerstone all the way through 8th grade. We hope they'll start a high school program. Go Cougars!

I have served at Corner Stone Christian Academy for the past 3 years, as a 4th Grade Educator, and believe that it is incumbent upon me to share valuable insight regarding the level of education that is provided, here, at CCA. I, along with my CCA colleagues, take personal pride in providing our students with a strong, academic foundation, that will enable them to be successful beyond these walls. As professionals, we are committed to teach to the "Total Child," providing students with not only an exceptional academic experience, but also, a path towards Spiritual Growth and Character Development. I have always espoused the concept of the "Classroom Family," which gives my students the desire to want to learn because they feel a sense of belonging, value, and acceptance from their teacher. Students are highlighted and shown how 'Special' they are, thus, enabling them to discover how the Love and Grace of Jesus Christ is able to transform their lives both Spiritually, as well as, Academically. As an Educator, I am thrilled to be a viable contributor to the CCA Academic Team, as we continue to move forward using the 21st Century Model (STEM) of Educating our students, while preparing our youth to become Strong Christian Leaders, not only within their spheres of influence, but also, throughout society; thus transforming the World one person at a time.

CornerStone has provided our children with a quality Christian education from preschool through 8th grade. The staff is caring and invested in your child's progress. Thanks to the very involved PTA, the facility is constantly being updated and improved without major tuition increases to the parents. Art, music, computers, PE and Spanish are a core part of all elementary grade levels in addition to the reading, writing, math and science. They provide a good foundation of Christian values and reward the children for good character. They have a well rounded athletics program for the older kids despite being a smaller school. There is so much opportunity here to excel and become a well rounded little individual. I highly recommend this school to all parents.

CornerStone Christian Academy (CCA) is a warm, caring Christian school for children to grow academically, socially and emotionally. The security of the children is paramount. The principal is accessible and helpful, the office staff is wonderful and a delight to deal with. Classroom aids are warm and welcoming the teaching staff is qualified and enthusiastic and attempts to meet individual needs of students. The kitchen staff could not be more accommodating. CornerStone has an expanding performing arts department as well as a respectable sports program. If your child wants to get involved (in an after school activity/sport) it is available at CCA! The key to CCA's success is a great mixture of caring (and involved) parents, a supportive administrative staff, enthusiastic teachers and great students in a Christian environment!

This is a great school. I have had children in pre-school and elementary school. The academics are exceptional and there are also a lot of after school activities, from sports to performing arts. The teachers and staff are warm and caring and have the best interest of my children at heart. There are enough students to allow for many friendships yet it has a family feel as well. All of my children love CornerStone Christian Academy and I would recommend it to anyone looking for quality education and a healthy environment.
