At first we were so happy to have our son attend Cornerstone as a full time student in their Toddler-house program with 10 other students. (It was his first school ever- He is only 2 yrs old.) Then suddenly in January their teachers informed us that they would not be able to keep him as a full time student the following year. We have two children and my husband and I are both professionals with strict schedules. It was a shock to suddenly be told that our child could only be a student from 8:30 to 11:30am. When we asked them why, they said he would not take naps. Strange, both our children nap regularly EVERYDAY. I was able to talk to the some of the other parents who have children in the same class as my son. A few of them mentioned that their kids also do not nap, but their children WERE attending full time next year. It turns out these families have have other siblings attending Cornerstone. That made us feel that the school was exhibiting some bias against our child.We had heard very little communication from the school during his first 6 months, just mostly generic daily comms, but suddenly we began getting communications 2-3x per week detailing complaints such as our son stepping on bugs, playing with sticks too much or even chewing his food with his mouth open, really?! He was only 2! This continued for weeks which made us feel bullied. This school makes up a lot of stories to cover up their own lies that they tell to parents. The toddler teachers and the Head of school, Lee-Ann are very judgmental. Once the She finds out that you are asking questions about the teachers, some of which are not certified, or questioning their "curriculum", She will make sure that you and your child will have a terrible year filled with multiple early dismissals which cause you to scramble for babysitting coverage or take personal time.Since we been there, the Toddler House class size has dropped by over a third. Do your research, this school has had a lot of issues with the Board of Education and has had multiple lawsuits filed against them, all in the public record. The upper school has a good reputation but their Toddler House leaves a lot to be desired.The reason for my review is to help parents really ask the RIGHT questions before going into this school. Good luck to anyone who is considering entering their child into the Toddler-House.

My daughter has attended The Cornerstone School for 11 years now. She is extremely happy and she has thrived academically. She always had a deep thirst for knowledge, and Cornerstone often allowed her to work independently, challenge herself and delve deeply into research projects which were of interest to her. I am so happy we had made the decision for her to go her, and I would highly recommend anyone else to do so.

The teachers and staff at The Cornerstone School have built relationship with the parents and teachers off of mutual respect that allows the students to advocate for themselves. I recommend The Cornerstone School.

The education and experiences all of my children received at Cornerstone has provided them with a solid foundation for their academic careers as well as on a personal level. They are confident and successful. The relationships they forged with all of their teachers, based on mutual respect, have given them the ability to advocate for themselves in all areas of their lives. The atmosphere and environment surrounding the Cornerstone School is one of encouragement and positivity. I cannot say enough about Cornerstone!

This is a school where children love to learn for the love of learning, not because they have to know something for a test. The students learn that grace and courtesy are just as important as their math facts. The students are inquisitive and respectful. The faculty are dedicated, supportive and enthusiastic. My children have been attending Cornerstone since they were 3 years old. They are now 9 and 11. Their knowledge of the world and their academics are very strong. I am always impressed by their level of maturity and respect for others and their environment. Cornerstone has shaped them to be strong, positive children.

My son has had wonderful teachers starting when he was just three years old. Now, he is in Upper Elementary, and he is a fifth grader. Everyday, when I drop him off, he is excited to get to school. He is learning so much, but more importantly to me, he is learning how to think due to the Montessori method.
