Why Christian Education?
What does it mean to be a Christian School?
At Cornerstone
Christian Academy it means that we are a Protestant school, serving our
wider community by providing Christ-centered schooling.
Christian education means presenting Christian truth
and demonstrating Christian life. We begin each day together in a
chapel service of Morning Prayer, a Bible centered devotion with
origins in the English Reformation, and a Virginia tradition since
1607. Additionally, our students learn the Bible, some passages by
heart, and the main tenets of the Christian faith. We believe that the
Christian faith also informs all our studies, no matter what the
subject. A biblical perspective or world view comprises all our
subjects.
"In my view, the Christian religion is the
most important, and one of the the first things in which all children,
under a free government ought to be instructed ... The Christian
religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the
rights and privileges of a free people."
~ Noah Webster
Train up a child in the way he
should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.
Proverbs
22:6
