Tuition & Fees
At the heart of all we do is the desire to provide a strong academic environment from a biblical worldview while strengthening the family relationship. Your child will discover his or her God-given potential, make lifelong friends, learn to serve, and graduate ready to make a difference in their community and around the world. With tuition rates significantly less than comparative private schools in the area combined with the flexibility of the University-Model, the value of a Cornerstone education is hard to match.
