Purpose

Our education program is focused on the WHOLE CHILD - mind, body, and spirit. Social emotional learning is integrated into the academic program.


Mission statement

The mission of Conerstone Christian Academy is to educate children, including those from underserved families in an environment that provides the highest standards for the academic achievement and spiritual development. It is our vision to be a model urban Christian school where students are grounded in faith, shaped with Christ-like character, and equipped with knowledge and skills to excel in high school, college, and throughout life.


Statement of faith

We believe that the Bible, comprised of the Old and New Testaments, is inspired by God and is the supreme and final authority in faith and life. We believe in one God existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe in the vicarious death of the Lord Jesus Christ for our sins, the resurrection of His Body, His ascension into Heaven, and his future return to the earth. We believe salvation is available through one's acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We believe that a New Testament Church is a body of baptized believers associated for worship, learning, service and the spread of the gospel for the establishment of the Kingdom of God and earth.
