Cornerstone Academy

I have to disagree with these comments regarding meeting the needs of students with disabilities. Memorial drive elementary has a team lead by a Lioness. The principal is on top of it like white on rice, she may be overwhelming at times and demands punctual attendance and makes sure every parent is being the best they can be. They have a strong team and the sped department is phenomenal. My son’s ARD meeting was done in weeks of enrollment and I saw nothing but love and passion for the students . I recommend this school and applaud them as a whole. Happy mother of first grader new to the school .

Wonderful school, wonderful community. Would absolutely recommend.

It was great absolutely love everyome there especially the principals and front office staff and the nurse.

We have two children here in Kindergarten and in the early childhood program, and feel we've found a great long-term home at SML. It strikes the right balance as a small, attentive, rigorous academic environment that is also large enough to have robust extracurriculars and sports options. We have felt very welcomed as a family and find St Mark is really supportive for us as a dual career household with good after hours care and summer camp options. We've been particularly impressed with the community element - older kids are buddied up with younger ones and there is great school spirit, kindness, and camaraderie across all grade levels. While we were nervous about both private school and the religious element because we were public school kids and not super religious ourselves, we've found both to be wonderful confidence builders and calming influences for our kids as they learn to navigate the world. Academically, our kindergartener is reading comfortably at a second-grade level and learning about topics we would have expected in 2nd or 3rd grade! She adores all her teachers and is excited to go to school each day. We've recommended SML to several friends as they look at their options.

I am a former student. I went to School of the Woods from preschool all the way through 12th grade and graduated in 2006. I know that was a long time ago but some of the teachers I had are still there. It was a great school at every level. I was a pretty difficult kid and yet they not only put up with me but helped me grow. If you'd met me when I was a little kid you would not have expected me to turn into a 100% functional adult with a professional degree, a great job, and a family. But School of the Woods was certainly a big part of that. My only complaint is that the mascot is no longer the Treefrogs.
