The Cornerstone Academy is a private school
dedicated to the education of children from Kindergarten
to Grade 6. The Cornerstone Academy offers an environment
that is educationally challenging and utilizes a blend of
traditional educational tools, hands-onteaching models (reinforcement
of teaching concepts, hands-on experiments and field trips)
and innovative teaching techniques. The goal of the Cornerstone
Academy is to prepare our students to excel academically and
meet the challenges of a changing world. The Cornerstone Academy
recognizes that each child is an individual and structures
its educational program to meet the needs of each student.
Central to our mission is small class size and individual
instruction. Our small size allows us to meet the unique needs
of gifted children.
