Dear Families and Friends of
Cornerstone:
Thank you for continued interest
in Cornerstone Classical Christian Academy. As we begin a new calendar
year, many families begin to consider their educational options for the
next school year. We are pleased that so many families are seeking a
truly Christian education for their children and are interested in the
unique opportunity offered at Cornerstone.
By God’s grace, we at Cornerstone
are establishing a school where the goals for our students are
purposefully different from many of their counterparts. To be sure, we
maintain a high standard in our academic program. Our school is
dedicated to teaching subject matter and skills that will help our
students be competitive and even excel. Our curriculum is consistent
with the classical model of education and is college preparatory. Our
commitment to classical education means that all subjects are taught
incrementally using a variety of methods to ensure mastery of
skills. However, none of the above is what sets Cornerstone apart
from other schools.
Without question the quality that
sets Cornerstone apart from other schools is our emphasis on “heart
education.” We are profoundly aware of the Biblical truth that is
presented in scripture and summarized in Proverbs 4:23 which commands,
“Watch over (or guard) your heart with all diligence, for from it flow
the springs of life.” Noted author and teacher, Paul David Tripp states
“In the Bible, the term “heart” is an all encompassing word that can
best be defined as the causal core of your being.” (Your Christian
School: A Culture of Grace?) Given that understanding, we recognize that
Christian education should not be viewed as an opportunity to simply
repackage the contents of a person’s mind. Instead Christian education
should be seen as an opportunity to bring to bear in the life of a
student all that God has put at our disposal to impact their very nature
or being. The ministry of our school is rooted in the person and work of
Jesus Christ and it is our desire to see our students learn more of
Him. We believe that as our students understand more of Jesus and see
the power of the Gospel displayed in those around them and indeed, even
have that same Gospel applied to their own lives, they will be well on
their way not only to learning but also to living for God and His
glory. The aim of all education at Cornerstone is for our students to
love Christ, value God’s word and view all of life from a Biblical
perspective.
Cornerstone began in 2006 with the
founders of our school believing that there was an alternative way to
educate and disciple the next generation of Christian young people. We
continue to hold fast to their vision. Our school is called to come
alongside Christian parents who understand our vision and who hold the
same values. Colossians 1: 16, 17 and 28 remind us that “In Jesus all
things were created both in heaven and on earth…all things have been
created through Him and for Him. He is before all things and in Him all
things hold together…Therefore, we proclaim Him admonishing every man
and teaching every man with all wisdom that we might present every man
complete in Christ.” If you are seeking to educate your children
according to Biblical principles and desire to see your children trained
to view all of life from a Biblical perspective, I invite you to attend
our Community Information Meeting and Open House on Thursday, January 19th
at 7:00 p.m. in the chapel of Morningview Baptist Church located at 125
Calhoun Road in Montgomery.
True Christian education is
building the lives of our children on Jesus Christ, the chief
Cornerstone. We are committed to assisting you in that process,
Priscilla Stewart, Principal
