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
-----------------------
"We are amazed at the progress our daughter has made since she entered
Cornerstone. - She has blossomed!"
Parent
-----------------------
"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. |
