My son is in 4th grade at Bent and has been there since Kindergarten. My oldest also went through Bent. The teachers and staff are phenomenal and I cannot speak highly enough of this school.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have read the other reviews and I'm sorry for what happened to those people. But I strongly disagree with what they have said. Cornerstone is a Christian school, but in no way do they force you to be Christian or to act like one. Also the teachers are not ignorant in realizing when something wrong with a student. They try to help the student in whatever way they can, and they don't force the student to be Christian to solve the problem.Student Review3y ago
