TEACHERS MATTER

It is not enough to have a great philosophy of education, a great building, the best curricula, and the latest technology.  Teachers matter.

Teaching is a profession.  Our teachers are both well-educated and experienced.  Teaching is also a calling, a gift, and a ministry.  Our teachers have articulated their faith and sense of calling.  
They confirm their calling day by day and student by student.

Cornerstone not only has great teachers, but also great teachers working together in a great environment to teach.  
It makes a difference.

OUR GOVERNING BODY

Cornerstone Christian Academy is an independent Christian and classical school that is governed by its school board. The Cornerstone School Board is elected by the members of the Cornerstone Christian Academy Parent Teacher Fellowship (CCAPTF) at designated meetings. Its policies are developed in harmony with the approved by-laws. Cornerstone acknowledges the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the true head of our school. We further acknowledge the authority of the Bible as the Word of God. As described in the by-laws of Cornerstone, the powers of the Cornerstone Christian Academy Parent Teacher Fellowship, the school board, executive committee, principal, headmistress, teachers and others should always and actively be subjected to the Lord Jesus Christ and the Bible through prayer, study, contemplation, and the godly wisdom of humility.

The Parent Teacher Fellowship sets a wonderful example of Christian service.  The officers mobilize and represent the many volunteers who do so much to help and and enrich the school.
