The mission of Cornerstone Christian School is to provide a Christ-centered education based on the teachings of the Holy Scriptures where students are challenged to strive for academic excellence and spiritual growth. We want to see all students come into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and be able to share their faith with others.

In order to accomplish this task, we have divided our goals into four areas of training: spiritual, educational, social and physical.
