Our Philosophy of Christian Education
Cornerstone Christian Academy, bound by its mission statement, is committed to providing a sound academic education integrated with a Christian view of God and the world based on the authoritative and inerrant Word of God. We further purpose to teach children in partnership with their parents, a right view of God by training them to know God’s character and how to relate to Him on a personal level through prayer and worship. We believe that this foundation will enhance each area of the child’s learning.
This educational program is designed for children whose parents are committed to a personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and are in agreement with the school’s Statement of Faith. Functioning as an extension of the Christian home, CCA assists parents who seek to obey Biblical instruction which gives them ultimate responsibility for the education of their own children (Deuteronomy 6:6-7). It is also the purpose of CCA to involve parents in the educational process as much as possible.
Because a Christian approach to learning differs significantly from a secular viewpoint, CCA offers a curriculum rooted in a God-centered view of life. This view holds that God’s truth is the standard for all truth. Our curriculum, taught by a qualified Christian faculty, allows parents to provide their children with academic instruction consistent with the Christ-centered teaching received at home and at church. (Proverbs 1:7)
The great works, ideas, and skills that constitute a good liberal arts education are embodied in the curriculum of Cornerstone Christian Academy. God’s Word, designed to impart wisdom to the students involved, defines the particulars of this program.
The subject matter and essential elements of each discipline reflect unity between God’s world and God’s Word. English courses reflect the nature of God from the realities of grammar and spelling to the insights of literature, reading, and writing. Consequently, these insights give the student background to discover foreign languages. Jesus, as our example, spoke several languages.
Mathematics demonstrates God’s order even in an abstract world of numbers, which extends to the outer reaches of our Creator’s universe. Likewise, science reflects the magnificent order and complexity of the things God has placed around us. The student’s mind is challenged to understand the invisible force that holds together all concrete things.
History and geography acknowledge the providential working of God in the past, present, and future. The student recognizes God’s powerful working in the affairs of man and understands that even when evil appears to be strong, God is on the throne, and His purposes will prevail.
Physical education teaches each student the stewardship of his own body as the temple of the living God. The Arts (music and art) engage the student in understanding the creative nature of God and the innate God given creativity within each individual. The believer is given the privilege of responding to the Creator through worship and praise expressed in music and art.
Finally, Bible class aims to cultivate young men and women who will live in all arenas of life as light in a dark world. This curriculum is designed with the hope that each student will live his life knowing his greatest joy is living for Christ. It includes practical training in Bible study methods and ethics, providing the student with needed resources to cope with whatever stage of life he is facing.
Our curriculum is designed to equip young people with a foundation of basic knowledge, skills and wisdom necessary to live life as God has intended. The teacher is an example of the living curriculum. The Lord trains and transforms both the student and teacher as they devote themselves to their studies. We recognize it is by God’s grace that we train children to become complete in Christ. (Luke 2:52; Proverbs 3:13, Proverbs 9:9).
