What We Provide

Cornerstone Schools provides a thoughtful liberal arts education within a loving Christian community that prepares students for life during and after Cornerstone. Partnering with staff, parents and community volunteers, our K-Life vision centers on a commitment to provide the academic, spiritual and socio-emotional learning and support for students to move towards their fullest God-given potential.

Christ-Centered Community and Character

All teachers are committed Christians with a calling to D.C. Their first responsibility is to seek each student’s best and to train them in Christian character.

Capable, Caring Teachers and Staff

Teachers unite a love for students with the expertise in their subjects and participate in ongoing professional development and coaching to improve their craft. Teachers have an average of 6 years experience in the classroom. 

Compassionate, Classical Education

Our curriculum and class offerings build a strong academic foundation while developing students in critical thinking, writing and discussion. Cornerstone provides some 1-on-1 and small group supports to address academic gaps and to meet socio-emotional needs. Though we are able to provide services, we are not able to support students with significant needs.

Hot Lunch Program

Cornerstone's lunch program this year includes Chick-fil-A, Mama’s Pizza, Silver Dinner and J&J Mex-Taqueria. Students may opt in the program to receive lunch 4 days a week for at a reasonable rate. 

K-Life Vision

High School students spend 4 years completing a post-graduate plan alongside staff leadership who engage the resources to go to college or pursue a vocation.

We offer a Cornerstone College Scholarship, where any student graduating with a high school GPA of 3.5 or above will receive a college scholarship of up to $22,000 over 4 years.

Cultivating Student Leadership

Our high school House System cultivates and develops leadership skills, shapes positive school culture, and serves younger students. Students have the opportunity to serve as a House leader their junior or senior year, leading other students in fellowship, healthy competition, and service. Students also create and direct school electives and school social activities.

Community Support Programs

We engage loving adults as partners and mentors, guest speakers, and connectors to community programs and employment opportunities.

Co-Curricular Programs

We offer after school and athletics programs both at Cornerstone and with community partners. Our daily “Lions’ Den” program runs from 3:00-6:00pm for Grades K-8 and develops cross-grade friendships, literacy skills, and homework support. Students can access a wide range of after-school programs, including basketball, cheer, soccer, track and volleyball, and participate in programs at the  Washington Nationals Youth Basketball Academy, Life Pieces and Masterpieces, WTEF Tennis, and Fort Dupont Ice Skating Arena.

We look forward to sharing more details with you about community, classroom, and programs on an upcoming tour where you can experience Cornerstone.
