What makes Cornerstone Unique?

We believe that every child is teachable. Our commitment is to help each of our students understand they are capable of learning and reaching their God-given potential
We teach students differently. Where many children fail to learn by regular classroom methods, we help them realize academic success at Cornerstone.
We are committed to teaching strategies which are structured and multisensory. Our teaching staff is trained in the Orton-Gillingham multisensory method of instruction.

We provide appropriate compensations in each subject area for each of our students.
