What do Students and Parents have to say about us?

"You know, Mom, since coming to Cornerstone, I'm starting to think I really am smart."  
7th grade boy

"My teachers are really, really nice."
"The teachers teach us a lot about everything and they care about us.  I especially like tasting foods and learning about the countries they come from."
8th grade girl

"I now know about your school and will be able to recommend it.  Your teachers and students were very gracious.  I appreciate all you did to make my visit informative and enjoyable."
A visiting Middle School Administrator

"Thank you for inviting me for an on-site tour and presentation of the work of Cornerstone Academy of Mount Airy.  I'm glad I went!

I now have a clear sense of the professional skills and warm personal attention that your students receive.  Also, I can describe for parents the student population you are ideally suited to assist.  The Christian environment and principles of education can only add to the significance of the children's education.

Finally, I want to say that I am grateful that I can now point families to a Christ-centered resource as they face the challenge of helping their children with learning disabilities"  

A visiting Pastor

"Thank you so much for the work you do with our children.  You teach them so much more than reading, math, and science.  They learn by watching you - by example.  You all are very caring and nurturing in the way that you teach.  You not only prepare them for this life, but for the next.  We were nervous about sending our son to a new school, especially after the difficult summer our family lived through.  God is so good. He blessed our family with a miracle in saving and healing our daughter, and He continues to bless us by watching over our son at Cornerstone.  We have found a school that understands children with ADHD.  Our son has adjusted well, and he really likes going to school.  It takes special folks to teach.  It takes extra special folks to teach children with special needs.

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.
