MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of Cornerstone Christian School is to provide an accredited Christ-centered education for students from kindergarten through the 12 th grade in an environment where God and education come together.   Graduates will be prepared both spiritually and academically to be in the world to serve God for life as they proceed to their next level of education.

In order to accomplish this mission:

1.   The School offers an education that is rooted in Christian and classical traditions. The Christian foundation recognizes the Bible as the final authority in matters of life and thought. The classical element draws upon the heritage of Western civilization and culture. Students are encouraged to develop a worldview that integrates Christian faith with all areas of learning and living.

2.   The School emphasizes the greatness of America's heritage. Students come to understand the present and gain perspective on the future through acquiring a knowledge of the past. They are to live virtuously and nobly through the example of those who have gone before. Biblical doctrines of self discipline, respect for authority, obedience to law, and love for flag and country are emphasized.

3.   The School functions as a nurturing community in which students are seen as unique persons created in the image of God with individual talents and needs. Students are taught by skilled teachers whose desire is for each student to achieve his highest potential. Individualized teaching plans and smaller classroom size allow the students to reach their academic goals.

4.   The School offers its students a mathematics and science program that prepares them for the scientific and technological advances of the modern world. Beginning in the early grades, the mathematics curriculum emphasizes concept and skill mastery along with practical application to real life problems. The science curriculum enables the students to gain understanding of the world around them and the laws that guide it.

5.          The School encourages each student to establish and develop a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and takes an active interest in each student's spiritual, moral, intellectual, and physical habits. Early development of a disciplined lifestyle in relationship to Jesus Christ will provide a solid foundation for a responsible and joyful life.
