Specialized Academic Programs for Students with Diverse Learning Styles within a Caring Community
After five years of offering testing and tutoring services, Cornerstone Christian Academy (CCA) was created in the Spring of 2004 to address the educational needs of students who have cognitive abilities in the average or above range. “We help students understand their learning style and academic struggles, while developing compensatory strategies and discovering individual strengths.” Having grown to nearly 30 full-time day students, CCA remains committed to small groupings with low student/teacher ratios. Our program is rooted in Christian principles and our curriculum is multi-sensory and strongly based in the Orton-Gillingham approach.
Cornerstone Christian Academy partners with parents in the education and development of their children. We strive to achieve this by:
- Providing a loving and supportive atmosphere where each student is invited to grow in a vital relationship with Christ,
- Respecting God’s creation in each student by discerning and affirming his/her learning style and discovering strengths while addressing learning difficulties,
- Providing a multisensory approach to learning aimed at increasing each student’s opportunity for learning,
- Equipping students to return to traditional classroom settings at the appropriate time with a clearer understanding of their learning styles and empowered with compensatory learning strategies necessary to be a successful learner.
Our Mission and Purpose
Cornerstone Christian Academy provides specialized academic programs for students with diverse learning styles within a caring community. The mission of our school is to identify the needs, learning style, and potential of students and prepare them for success, as we provide comprehensive and effective services, which are consistent with Christian beliefs and values.
Cornerstone Tutoring Program
Cornerstone offers a specialized tutoring program designed to support students with learning challenges such as ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, processing difficulties, and reading, writing, and/or math struggles. Our tutors are highly trained in evidence-based methods, (including Orton-Gillingham, Sonday, SWR) and utilize interactive media, manipulatives, and other tailored strategies to strengthen skills in reading, language arts, and mathematics. With extensive experience and a deep understanding of diverse learning needs, our tutors provide individualized support to help students thrive. The tutoring process begins with appropriate assessments, allowing us to develop personalized learning strategies for both one-on-one and small group sessions, ensuring each student receives the targeted assistance they need to succeed.
