Works Here: Winston-Salem Christian School is a wonderful community of people who love the Lord and people. It is an excellent school that focuses on academics, diversity, sports, and relationship. It is a family of people who come together to uplift students and further their education through dedication, prayer, and support. On top of it, students are receiving a biblical-based foundation. Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." This is exactly what we do here! Everyone at Winston-Salem Christian truly cares about you! WSCS is exactly what I prayed for and needed. Becoming a part of the community and family here is the best decision I made!

Parent: Cornerstone has been challenging, safe and tight-knit community for both of my children. There are events for elementary, middle and high school that are well-attended and supported by the PTO. The teachers love the students and their job and it shows! The school is safe, calm and well-run. My children have enjoyed all of their classes, as well as the sports, field trips and especially the AP offerings. We are so glad that we took a chance 10 years ago and enrolled in a brand new charter school that’s pillars are rigorous academics, character education and parent involvement. My daughter got into all 10 schools she applied to and earned scholarships to most of them. Our son is on the same track and we can’t wait for his accept letters to roll in this winter. Both are thankful for the opportunity to attend a school that focuses on the whole child and not just standardized test scores. If you are lucky enough to get into Cornerstone, accept the spot. It was a great decision for us!... Read 37 reviews

The teachers are state certified and have focused their education and career history on teaching children and helping them succeed academically and beyond. The number of students per class is smaller than at the nearby charter schools, they have specials each day, and the school offers additional services including an academically gifted program, school counselor, and after-school clubs, including science, Spanish, soccer, golf, book club, and volunteer/service-oriented group....

Parent: We moved to the area when our son was about to start the 3rd grade. We looked at many neighborhoods and elementary schools including private and charter options. In the end we focused on finding a home in the Claxton zoning. My mother is a retired New York City elementary school principal. Her school was one of the top public or private schools in the country. I know the signs of a good or bad school. With just one exception, the experience our son had was fantastic over his 3rd through 5th grade journey. The principal and assistant principal are as engaged as can be and know every student and their parents. They handle everything in the most professional way and yet are incredibly warm and caring. The PTA is the best-there are parents all over the school volunteering. The teachers are fantastic and many of their own children have attended or attend Claxton.... Read 1 review

Parent: Pinecrest is an absolutely amazing school! We are in our third year and are so happy to be part of such a wonderful school community. The love of learning and joy is seen everyday in the interactions the Head of School, staff, teachers, and enrichment teachers have with students and parents. We truly appreciate that each child is valued for his/her individuality and are supported academically, socially, and emotionally. DEIB is a core value of Pinecrest and all are welcome and celebrated. Class sizes are small and intimate. We appreciate the flexibility offered in learning with classes often held outside and focuses in the areas of STEAM, music, and project based learning. The teachers know every student, not just the ones in his/her classes. Individual class teachers are easy to communicate with and very responsive to parents and students. Communication from the Head of School is excellent, detailed, and consistent. Importantly, our child is thriving! We highly recommend Pinecrest!... Read 5 reviews
