Having established a successful church, our school staff fully understands the dedicated commitment of training and educating our young people with Christian values.

Benefits of a Christian Education 

Spiritual

Cornerstone Baptist Academy strives to have an environment that is filled with joy, acceptance, and

Christ-like concern for its students. Our value comes from who we are in Christ. Bible class, prayer, and chapel are integral parts of the school that enhance the students' spiritual growth.

Moral Integrity

“Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6

CBA is committed to impacting the lives of our students by inspiring them to express the qualities which matter most - honesty in work and deed, kindness toward others, respect for authority, and trust in God.

Academic Excellence

Cornerstone Baptist Academy desires to unlock the God-given potential in each child and enable each one to grow to new heights in all areas of development. Teachers make the classroom a place of discovery and a place that challenges the mind.

What should you know before applying?

Cornerstone Baptist church Academy is essentially a closed enrollment school. This means that we primarily exist for the education of the children of members of Cornerstone Baptist Church. Exceptions are made for students whose guardians are faithful to an independent Baptist church of like faith and practice. Also, exceptions are made for children whose parents attend at least one service per week at Cornerstone Baptist Church.

What type of curriculum do you use?

Cornerstone Baptist Academy is a registered user of the Abeka Video Master Program.

What are your extracurricular activities like?

While we want to help develop our students musically, socially, and physically, we also maintain that it is the parent’s primary responsibility to raise their children. We are purposely aiming to give Christian parents more time at home with their children by limiting all of the frills that normally come with a traditional school. We believe that parents should raise their children, not the school.

Our Commitment

A dedicated and caring staff.

A quality education environment.

A traditional approach.
