– Parent of two CLC studentsI love CLC because . . . my daughter is learning to speak and write in Spanish, and my son will often tell me how to say certain words in French.
– Parent of two graduates and two current studentsCornerstone has the long view in mind. They aren’t teaching students. They are raising thinkers. They aren’t teaching to a test. They are teaching a life-long love of learning. They know that the answers aren’t as important as the questions. They aren’t cordoning off the imagination. They bring it into the classroom. And they believe that education works best when it’s challenging and rigorous–not busy and time-consuming. The core virtues aren’t talking points. They are put into practice.
– Parent of two students at CLCMy children are treated as individuals and their thoughts are respected and celebrated.
– Parent of a middle schoolerCornerstone has fostered my daughter’s love of learning and sense of community involvement. I simply cannot recommend Cornerstone highly enough.
– Parent of two CLC studentsMy oldest child came from a school where he was not doing any writing tasks, to Cornerstone, where within 2 months he’d won a writing competition.
