Our Programs
Academics are of great importance to the principal, teachers, staff and parents of Cornerstone.
Each student is treated with love and respect and is given the best opportunity possible to learn in a safe environment. We believe in helping our students reach for and achieve high academic standards, reflected in exceptional Canadian Achievement Testing (CAT) Scores.
Our teacher-to-student ratio is small, which affords ample opportunity for individual attention. Emphasis is placed on a structured Phonics program, which results in high literacy levels from an early age (ABeka curriculum). Our qualified and dedicated teaching staff have integrated cutting edge technology, including the use of Apple TV, iPads and SMART Board technology.
We do our best to integrate the love and teachings of Christ through all subjects, showing students that Christ is interested and included in all areas of their lives.
