Dear Friends of Cornerstone:

I want to wish you and your family a very warm welcome to the Cornerstone School Community. All of us look forward to working with you as our students develop in academics and life.

As reflected in our mission statement, Cornerstone strives to develop critically thinking, compassionate young people committed to academic excellence and character development, all to the glory of God. Students support this when they pledge daily to “be caring, balanced, principled, knowledgeable, reflective, courageous, a thinker, a communicator, and an inquirer, with God’s help.” These beliefs are an example of the core values of Cornerstone. To this end, it is important that we recognize the importance of virtues not just in academic areas, but in every aspect of daily life.

Sincerely yours in Christ,
