Your involvement is essential to our success.

Dear Cornerstone Supporter,

Every day, we see the transformative power of partnership when families, churches, and community allies stand beside our students, ensuring they have the encouragement and resources to grow in knowledge, faith, and hope.

Your support reaches far beyond the classroom. It helps provide daily meals, academic enrichment, summer programs, and the personal guidance each child needs to thrive. You show our students that they belong in places that expect more from them, with teachers who prepare them for high school and college, and a community that believes in their potential.

Unlike most independent schools, where tuition covers the majority of operating costs, Cornerstone’s model is different by design. Family contributions account for less than ten percent of what it takes to educate each student. That difference reflects our mission to provide a Christ-centered, high-quality education to every child, regardless of circumstance.

To bridge the gap, we rely on generous partners whose philanthropy fuels every part of our students’ growth. Under the leadership of Head of School Brandon McNeice and our Board of Trustees, Cornerstone practices disciplined financial stewardship while inviting the community to share in sustaining a school where children grow in knowledge, faith, and hope.

There are many ways to make a difference. Every year the Annual Fund sustains the core of our operating budget by fueling day-to-day excellence and providing the flexibility to meet emerging needs. Other tax smart ways to give include the PA Tax Credit program or recommending a grant through your Donor Advised Fund. Contact your tax or financial advisor to find out the best way to support Cornerstone. 

Please make your gift today and help open doors of opportunity so our students step into the future strong in faith and confident in purpose.
