Mission and Vision
The mission of Cornerstone Christian Academy is to educate children, including those from underserved families in an environment that provides the highest standards for academic achievement and spiritual development.
It is our vision to be a model urban Christian school where students are grounded in faith, shaped with Christ-like character, and equipped with knowledge and skills to excel in high school, college, and throughout life.
Our Core Values
At Cornerstone Christian Academy, our core values reflect our unwavering commitment to Christ-centered education and the flourishing of every student we serve. These values shape not only what we teach, but how we live in community with one another.
The Word of God
We believe that Scripture is the inspired Word of God and a foundation for truth, wisdom, and spiritual formation. It is taught reverently and applied meaningfully across all areas of school life.
The Unique Worth of Every Child
Each student is a unique child of God, created with individual gifts, perspectives, and learning styles. We honor their dignity and potential in all aspects of teaching and care.
School and Home in Partnership
We believe that families are essential partners in the academic and spiritual development of children. Strong collaboration between home and school nurtures students in both faith and learning.
High Expectations and Encouragement
All students can grow and achieve when supported by high expectations, consistent modeling, and loving encouragement from the adults in their lives.
Social and Emotional Growth
We recognize that thriving in school and life requires more than academic knowledge. Students need emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and relational wisdom to navigate the world with confidence and care.
Safe and Supportive Environment
A school environment grounded in safety, respect, and trauma-informed practices provides the soil in which academic, behavioral, and spiritual growth can take root and flourish.
Engaged and Active Learning
We believe students learn best through meaningful, student-centered experiences. Our curriculum emphasizes standards-based instruction that cultivates curiosity, engagement, and deeper understanding.
The Integration of Faith and Learning
A Christian education is not an academic add-on—it is a holistic approach that integrates faith and learning in ways that shape students’ minds, hearts, and worldviews.
A Christ-Centered Community
We seek to reflect Christ’s compassion, kindness, humility, and justice in all relationships and organizational practices. Our community—including faculty, students, families, and guests—is called to live with integrity and grace.
