A Note from the Headmaster

Dr. Tom Askew, Headmaster

Welcome to Cornerstone's web site! Take some time to explore our world and our ways. We are still a work in progress (both the web site and the school) and are likely to remain so for a good while, so check back often to see what new things you can learn about our life and way of learning.

Cornerstone Christian Academy is like the proverbial elephant that the blind men attempted to describe - what you see in us depends on which part touches you first! Some people see Cornerstone, as…

• A rigorous, scholarly academy in which children are challenged to the limit of their intellectual abilities, because they first touched our

…high achievement test scores

…articulate former students (link coming soon)

• A thriving, nurturing Christian community, because they first touched our

…chapel times, perhaps as a guest speaker

…service and outreach projects

…parent education programs

…amazing, self-sacrificing faculty

• A way of "doing school" that is both ancient and forward-looking, because they first touched our

…unique, thoughtful, and challenging publications

…core ideas as expressed through some of the school founders

…inspirational sources standing farther upstream in the covenant

…colleagues in the quest to "repair the ruins" of our ancestors

• An entertaining and enjoyable adventure for all who are engaged in it, because they first touched one of our

…amazing exhibitions of student gifts and talents

…many fellowship and bonding experiences

…frequent ventures into the larger community around us

But however it is that you may have first discovered us, we hope that you will get to know us, either as partnering parents engaging with us in covenantal. classical education, or as one of our many friends and supporters. So take some time to browse the site and if you have any questions feel free to contact us. And you are always welcome for a campus visit, as well!

Together for the Kingdom and its children,
