Cornerstone Prep is... Committed to Research Based Academic Excellence
Emphasis is on rigor, relevance, relationships and DYNAMIC qualified staff- the hallmarks of successful schools, primarily found in smaller schools with smaller classrooms.
- CP's unique academic environment maximizes results- for above average college-bound students as well as for those who have past performance that was below grade level.
- Students love our college-style block scheduling.
- A traditional classroom setting maximizes 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.

50% of Cornerstone Prep students were recognized as "outstanding" writers in the Association of Christian Schools International's Creative Writing Competition for the Mid-Atlantic District. The district includes about 400 member schools serving more than 60,000 students in Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland and the District of Columbia. These CP students represented 17.3% of all superior entries, which were published in a collection of the
region's best works. 50% of CP students were judged "excellent" and 50% "superior" in the ACSI Speech Meet. ACSI schools from southwestern PA participated in the event, with entries scored by a panel of independent judges. In addition to a challenging language arts curriculum, Cornerstone Prep's students participate in writing lab, journalism and speech courses.

Why Christian education for high school is critical- A founder's view- click here!
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.
1. "No excuse" results-
Documented, research-based, time-tested results back up Cornerstone Prep's ambitious mission to equip critical thinking scholars mind, body and soul. Everything "Christian" must be about the passionate pursuit of excellence- in academics, athletics, fine arts, spiritual growth and develoment- Cornerstone Prep is a holistic liberal arts education.
2. Christian worldview and daily discipleship-
Christian teachers and administrators present the complete truth in every subject area, which is impossible in public, charter and public cyber-charter schools. Jesus hand-picked his disciples, teaching and mentoring them daily for three years before He sent them out into the world... and Jesus was GOD! It is no surprise that 14-year-olds are not yet adequately prepared for the battles they will face with teachers and peers when immersed in the culture. Cornerstone Prep is a school of discipleship, committed to graduate every student spiritually and socially mature, articulate defenders of their faith and principles, better prepared for the attacks they will face in college and the world.
3. Life-changing relationships-
Students, staff and parents form meaningful lifelong relationships in smaller classrooms and a smaller school where all of the wisdom of scripture is modeled on a daily basis, including how to form and manage relationships. We understand that for most students, this is their greatest interest at this age. We are committed to maintain a safe environment of mission-appropriate students, who are willing to work hard, respect staff and each other and support a standard of behavior that is moral and uplifting to the group.
4. Athletic and co-curricular activities-
Cornerstone Prep is serious about fine arts, missions and service, internships and athletics- with a strong plan for steady growth. Our vision is to grow steadily in the quality and scope of our own programs, while offering complete access to sports we aren't ready to sponsor via cooperative sponsorships with local high schools.
