Elementary, Middle & High School Academics at Cornerstone

Philosophy of Education

University-Model® schooling provides students with an academically challenging education while integrating the home and school in the common goal of discipling students. The key to success is the integration of a biblically-based, parentally-guided Christian faith and a sound, teacher-facilitated academic environment.

The University-Model® school is designed for those families in which parents take an active role in the oversight and implementation of their children’s education. As the level of parental involvement progresses from being a co-teacher in the elementary years to a guide for dependent study in middle school to more of a course monitor in the high school courses, parents are expected to continue exercising loving and active responsibility for their children all the way through graduation.

Educational Responsibilities

In partnership with our committed parents, Cornerstone is able to integrate the home and school effectively toward the common goal of Christian character development and solid academic preparation for college.
