The Cornerstone Difference

If education is spiritual in nature, as we believe, then it must have a moral fiber that is woven into all things educational. At Cornerstone Christiann School, we believe in a Christian worldview and teach from that worldview.

"To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God - Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scriptures. Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious; but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, even them which stumble at the word, being disobedient where unto also they were appointed. But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called out of darkness into his marvelous light."

Key verse: I Peter 2:1-9 (4-9)

We believe in excellence and demand that from our faculty and staff, as well as our students.
One of our goals is to challenge them to come up higher in every area of their lives.
Adding value to everything they do.

High school Bible classes explore denominational differences, applying critical thinking and discussion in order to gain further insight and establish a solid understanding.
