Mission Accomplished: 4th Grade’s NASA Trip
By David Tarbert At NASA they are big into taking measure. We slept under Saturn V, the biggest rocket in the world. We learned about the first chimp in space (Ham), the first person in space (Yuri Gagarin), and the first person to step on the moon (Neil Armstrong). As I was enjoying chaperoning this [...]

Why We Give to the Annual Fund
By Leslie France Patterson I made a cool connection this week: Cornerstone and my son Oscar were born the same year: 1999. Oscar entered Miss Patty’s kindergarten class in 2004, and since then I’ve had the privilege of watching my son and his school grow, hit important milestones, [...]
“Live Well”
by Alison Jackson-Wood, Upper School Director/IB Coordinator We have completed two weeks of school already. I have always been awed by schools.

What our community members say . . .
– Parent of a kindergartener and a 3rd graderMy children enjoy science and have opportunities to explore outdoors. I am overjoyed when they say, “I have a hypothesis . . .” and then test it.
– 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.
