Excellence in Christian education is the driving force at Cornerstone Christian Academy. Cornerstone, founded in 2003, will add 7th grade to its program for the 2010/2011 school year. This addition expands Cornerstone’s offerings to include a full preschool (beginning at two-year-old), a complete elementary program (bridge-kindergarten through 5th grade) and a commitment to a complete middle school program (6th through 8th grade) by the fall of 2011. The school's expansion comes in response to area parents’ desires to place their children in a safer, smaller and biblically-based educational environment that aims to reach beyond academics alone. The class maintains a low student/teacher ratio allowing for individualized attention and greater potential for learning.

Cornerstone's advanced Christian curriculum taught by expert Christian teachers is enriched with music, art, Spanish and physical education. Students in PreK 4s, elementary and middle school enjoy a library trip once a week with our certified librarian. All students participate in daily chapel and Bible lessons.

Housed within the First Colony Church of Christ in the growing heart of Sugar Land, Texas, Cornerstone is easily accessed from Highway 59. The state-of-the-art facilities support a full program complete with a chapel, gymnasium, library, commercial kitchen and mobile Apple computer lab. Cornerstone's foundation of Christian values and commitment to excellence ensure a bright future for families seeking Christian education in the Fort Bend area.

OUR OBJECTIVES

• To provide a developmentally appropriate educational experience in a Christian setting that will support future academic growth.
• To enrich the child's life with a wide variety of activities in a safe and nurturing environment.
• To provide support for families through education, community referrals, spiritual guidance and "family-to-family" connections.

OUR SCOPE

• A faith-based, non-profit organization that is affiliated with the First Colony Church of Christ. In the best interest of the child, we reserve the right to establish procedures and policies that serve the best interest of the children's overall developmental needs.
• Enrollment -- The school is open to all children regardless of race, religion, color, sex, nationality or any other basis prohibited by law.
• Religion -- The curriculum includes Bible instruction and all subject areas are taught from a Christian perspective.

TEACHING AND LEARNING

Teachers share in the learning adventures of the class. Respect for cultural, family and social needs are balanced with the individual child's needs. Learning occurs in a variety of settings: individual, small group, whole class and in learning centers. Teachers are sensitive to the sensory modes of young children and incorporate all five modes into their activities and experiences. Teachers also respect the variation of learning styles that occurs in children. The goal is to help children grow in all developmental areas: cognitive, spiritual, social, emotional and physical.

SPIRITUAL TRAINING

Students receive religious instruction daily at the school. Worship time consists of Bible songs, scriptures and prayers. Bible stories and application lessons complement the Church's Sunday school curriculum. All aspects of teaching include the Christian perspective, providing guidance for personal responsibility and friendship. Teachers model Christian principles as they lead children to know God as their Father and Jesus as their Savior.

GUIDANCE AND DISCIPLINE

Positive guidance is the school's discipline plan. Teachers use distraction techniques with very young children. Redirection, logical and natural consequences, problem solving and negotiation strategies work with older children. Teachers reinforce appropriate behavior as children learn to mature in the following aspects:

Respect for self
Respect for teachers and other adults
Respect for other children
Respect for property
