Cornerstone Academy

If you are looking for an overly structured schedule for your child, this school is good for you. If you are looking to learn Chinese or even gain a foothold in academics, you should look else where.
Chinese curriculum — yes it’s true that they introduce Chinese to kids right at Kindergarten and you get thrown a lot of characters to memorize. However that’s where it stops. They do not go over composition or sentence structure. You just memorize a bunch of vocabulary and their meaning but you don’t know how to use it. How is that preparing kids to survive in a multilingual world?
History & Science — the textbooks are clearly marked with this line: «from a Christian perspective.» That says it all. If you plan to keep your kids at Cornerstone from K-​12 then I guess it’s ok but if your kid plans to jump to public high school,. they will be laughed at for reciting anything from those textbooks. My best advice is to study for the test to get the A and promptly forget whatever those books tell you. I do recognize that this is a Christian school but history is history and science is science. What does Jesus have to do with it?
Homework help — you don’t get any. I don’t think the kids are prepared with a basic foundation of how to do the homework in class. The teachers over rely on parents to do all the teaching at home. Now if I pay you $ 10K a year for tuition, shouldn’t that be your job and not mine?
Cornerstone is very very focused on artistic performance and sports. They do pretty well in the CYO games and they have endless performances. I’m not training my child to be an athlete or actor. I just want the 3 r’s competently taught.
Another star for the cafeteria staff. I can vouch that their cafeteria food is better than the slop that’s served in public school. That is all.
Now if this honest review gets buried, I know who’s responsible.

there is a reason why this school requested all its comments to be removed. they seem innocent enough, till you find out about the real behind the scene actions.
i should be more fair
this school does have good academics and can teach well, but they have a overly heavily influence on Christianity.
the history book used, they had claimed Malcom X to be delusional and insane and i have the book still to prove so.
i also remember not being able to eat dinner at a camping trip for not remembering a bible verse, they are extremely over the edge on Christianity, also forced upon you.
i would have to say the school did make me more prepared academic wise, but not socially from transition as a cornerstone student to the real world. its a very overly sheltered school. also with complaints from former teachers that they were overly working students.
