Cornerstone Preparatory Academy

Cornerstone is so much more than just a school to our family. From the first moment we walked through the door, we were drawn to an amazing feeling of belonging and of God’s love. We couldn’t have dreamed of a more amazing group of people with whom we are trusting the hearts and minds of our children! Our children are truly valued and loved at Cornerstone in a way for which we will forever be grateful. They, in return, absolutely adore their teachers and look forward to school every day!That would have been more than enough for us, but it did not stop there! The teachers, staff, and other parents have become some of our dearest friends, which has blessed us with a beautiful community to do life with. In a world where it is so easy to get lost in the white noise, we have found a place where people care, truly and deeply, about each other, bringing us closer together and demonstrating the beauty of the body of Christ! It has been so refreshing to our souls and our family feels incredibly blessed to be a small part of such an amazing community!

Don't put your child with disability..Disagree of what happened for my son with autism. I waisted my time, money . They want me to provide Personal Support Worker with my own expense to guide him all day..from the first place they accept him with his autism ad without telling that we need Psw from Personal interview with me and my son. After 3 weeks they give us 2 weeks notice to remove my son from the school because they require us Psw.. 2weeks notice in the middle of the summer.

I transferred to CPA in 10th grade, after having been in the public school system my entire education, by my own personal choice (not my parents’). I have since concluded that was most definitely not the ideal path. Immediately upon my attendance, I could sense the tension in the building. The first thing I noticed was that as a person-of-color (POC), I had very few peers who were also POC. I, however, knew this information previously to attending the school and did not let that affect my decision to transfer. I would argue now that I should have taken that into consideration. Throughout my time at CPA, I was cited for multiple dress-code violations. This upset me as a plus size woman for multiple reasons. The options we had for uniforms that were permitted were limited in their sizing range, and even then it was rare that the skirts from these companies fit my body the way that they fit other people in our school. The over-scrutinization of my body at this school lead to a plethora of self-esteem and body image issues, some that I am still processing and working through even though I am now removed from the environment. There were a few staff members I remember fondly and still hold close to my heart even after graduation. Unfortunately, multiple of them have left (or are choosing to leave in the future) due to what I can only assume was the administrative side of this school. To speak frankly, I am disappointed in the leaders of this so-called “Christian” institution. There is very little focus on the true spiritual well-being of the students, but rather on how “spiritually well” the students appear to be. I found this upsetting as one of the main reasons I chose to transfer to CPA was to be in a healthy, Godly environment. The “Bible” classes were hardly such, but taught almost exclusively from the assigned textbooks/curriculum. Rarely did we open an actual Bible in class. The way issues pertaining to underage drinking/drugs/etc were dealt with was disheartening. The focus was only on the action rather than student safety or possible outside factors that may be leading to these decisions. I would also like to clarify that while I was enrolled, none of the students that were reprimanded for this behavior were committing said behavior on school grounds, property, or time. All of this to say that if you are considering CPA for your child, mull it over extremely carefully. This is not the school it once was and is certainly headed downhill.

I have two children who have graduated and a third one currently attending the school. I am grateful for the school's dedication to a biblical world education, student safety, and the teachers' dedication to the students. My kids have loved the IMPACT trips. It has been one of the highlights of their high school experience. They built relationships with students from other grades, experienced things they would never have experienced, and had fun. The workload can be challenging but I would expect nothing less from a private education.

I went to school here from 1st grade to 12th grade. They kicked kids out for being gay and in the 12 years of going here they never talked about what we should do if there was a school shooting. Impact trips were mostly self-serving, 1/6 days would be service and the rest would be vacation. They were also very expensive. The only thing I feel like I gained to help prepare me for college was writing skills, which makes me feel like the tuition cost was not worth what I gained from the school. The work load was intense and students who joined later on usually did not do well adjusting. School events also felt very forced and were painful to sit through. Some of the teachers genuinely cared about us. They also are not trained to help kids with learning disabilities.
