Our #1 Priority… Safety of your student
Cornerstone Academy YOUR children and their education is OUR priority: Community Relationships TAA – Teacher As Advisors Cornerstone Academy is about providing a small safe learning environment for your student. The CS teachers work as a team to ensure your child is successful. I feel that developing relationships with students and parents is a priority for academic success to occur.
