Cornerstone Academy is truly a special and one of a kind school! Our freshman twins went to CSA and our youngest is about to start here. It's hard to put into words what a great school this is. The principal is amazing and the staff truly goes above and beyond to get to know each child. It's all Pre-AP and while the kids work hard, it's also a very fun and encouraging environment. They don't have after school sports but that's something our son does outside of school anyway and our daughters thrived in the dance program here. We feel blessed that our children have had the opportunity to attend CSA.
I had an amazing experience here until my last year. MOST of the teachers are good, the food is great and the campus is beautiful and huge. Unfortunately, on my last year here I was “unenrolled” due to a teacher not liking a question that was asked. When the teacher started freaking out about it the other students in the classroom began to support me, knowing what was right and wrong. She decided to expel me for that. I like this school other than the fact that the teachers are biased, a bit racist, and have too much power in their hands.
This school has such a loving and safe environment. Teachers challenge students without overdressing students with busy work and meaningless tests. Students are kind to one another and teachers form a strong relationship with their students. Students are taught to think creatively and Innovatively through project based learning. Language Arts and Social Studies are taught hand in hand. While in history you learn about the Reform movement of the 1800s, in Language Arts you learn about Transcendentalism and get to voice your opinions on modern day issues. Class debates are encouraged and every students is respected and gets to voice their opinions in a safe environment. This was a great school and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Highly recommend this school if your looking for a higher quality of education.
