Financial AidCornerstone Christian Academy provides an excellent private Christian education and we operate solely on tuition, fees, and the contributions of our families and supporters. Each year we set our tuition based on the operational needs of the school, seeking to maintain a quality educational experience for each student. To help with the costs of attending Cornerstone Christian Academy, we set aside a specified amount of financial aid each year to help families expressing need. If you are considering enrolling your child at Cornerstone and desire financial assistance, we ask that you complete both an application for admission and a separate financial aid application. Families seeking assistance are required to complete their financial aid application by the first Monday of March to be considered for the following school year. After a thorough and prayerful analysis, awards will be determined and communicated to the family. To assist us with this process, we have partnered with Clarity. Clarity is an educational partner to many quality schools across the nation and provides a completely confidential financial aid assessment for families. Follow the steps below to complete your application. Step 1Go to https://app.clarityapp.com/sign-up. Step 2Begin your application and add Cornerstone Christian Academy to your student applicant entry. You can save your application and log out at any time and return later to complete it. Step 3Complete your application and pay the $65 Clarity application fee. Step 4Complete the Clarity Enhanced Tax Verification (ETV) process to release your W2 and personal tax return transcripts from the IRS. You'll be asked to authorize the sharing of your tax transcripts and verify your identity. This is a one-time security measure required by the IRS to protect against identity theft and the compromise of personal information. Only those filing US taxes will be prompted to complete this step. Please review the step-by-step walkthrough of this process. Step 5Submit your Clarity application and follow the link to return to your dashboard to upload any additional supporting documents requested by schools. Non-U.S. tax filers may be prompted to upload income verification and other necessary documentation. Keep in mind that at a later date, you may be prompted by the school via Clarity to upload additional documentation as needed. Contact Clarity Family Support with any questions:

"Cornerstone is hands down the best environment for our kids to grow, learn, and thrive. The small classes and overall school size encourages confidence and fosters each child’s curiosity to try new experiences. The supportive staff holds each and every student to high expectations and instills personal responsibility and independent character. Cornerstone truly provides the perfect balance of academics, discipline, and grace for each student and we are so grateful to have found this gem of a school."
