iPads have revolutionized computers at home and at school. At Conerstone, each lower school classroom is equipped with an iPad. We will be challenging students to be creators, not just consumers, of technology. One device is equipped with the ability to record voices, videos and pictures, which are all tools that take student learning to a new level. The possibilities for student creations are endless.

As of Fall 2012, all of our lower school teachers will be trained in the Orton-Gillingham method (a multi-sensory educational approach to language arts).  At Cornerstone, we are building a bridge between reading and writing. We focus on reading strategies that help students develop a mastery of decoding and comprehension skills. By using a systematic approach to phonics, our students develop word knowledge which moves them toward conventional spelling.

We're excited to announce the opening of a new middle school building in the Fall of 2012.  If you want to see the plans for this building you can download the plans here.

The Cornerstone Cougars never miss an opportunity to help others or learn how to be good stewards of our resources and planet. That’s why we are excited about a new program at our school called Cans for Kids’ Wishes! By collecting aluminum beverage cans at our school, we can help raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Georgia & Alabama to grant special wishes for local children with life-threatening medical conditions. By doing something good for others, we will in turn earn funding from Novelis – the world’s largest recycler of aluminum cans.  Watch the 11 Alive News Video Now or READ MORE...

Wholesome Tummies offers only the purest, freshest and most natural ingredients. WT’s foods are prepared from scratch, cooked in a commercial kitchen using many organic and locally sourced ingredients and delivered directly to our school.

In the fall of 2011, Cornerstone added a fresh healthy vending machine.  We believe it’s never too early to teach kids about healthy eating habits.
