Why Christian education for secondary school is critical

A Cornerstone Prep founder's view

Parents of teens have many concerns in today's competitive world.  For Christians, these questions go far beyond whether the child will be academically prepared for college.  Recent research claims that most Christian teens abandon their faith practices shortly after high school, and that those who leave private Christian or parochial schools younger do not fare better.

"And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure and stature of the fullness of Christ;  that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head- Christ."             Ephesians 4:11-16

• Students love our college-style block scheduling.

 

• Smaller sized traditional classrooms maximize the benefits of teacher-student interaction. 

 

• Many classes incorporate classical instructional methods that have been proven highly effective in producing critical thinking scholars who have mastered the tools of learning, which can then be applied to any course of study.
