Cornerstone Coffee House

The DVD series entitled “Your Christian School:  A Culture of Grace?” by noted Christian author and speaker Paul David Tripp was a part of our faculty’s teacher training this summer and now the Cornerstone Board of Directors is inviting all of our school families to view one of the lectures. The first Coffee House was held on October 4 and the families who attended were blessed by the video. The next Coffee House will be scheduled for March. 

 These lectures help parents and teachers identify the root of difficulty in the lives of their children and then deal with it in light of God’s redemptive plan.  This is a wonderful opportunity to learn how to parent from a Biblical perspective.  It will also provide our Cornerstone families with insight into the way our teachers are ministering to your children.  Please feel free to invite a guest family to this evening as a means of spreading the news about our school.

 

 
 

 

 

 

Latest Information

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
