For those seeking to pursue a Christian education for your child/ren, you are the reason that I am writing this review. We have had children enrolled in Cornerstone (CCA) for the last 18 years. Until about ten years ago, the school was under the headship of Crossroads Community Church. The school had a healthy "family" feel whether talking with teachers, walking into the office, or strolling through campus. Biblical principles were integrated into the curriculum, and overall, students were respectful and well-behaved both in and out of the classroom. When CCA and Crossroads Community Church opted to part ways, we became acutely aware of a shift in culture as the school walked through ongoing changes in location, staff, and leadership. In our personal experience, the "family feel" and overall healthy culture has steadily degraded over the last several years. Our children have described a decline in the amount of Biblical integration occurring in the classroom and the amount of disrespectful and inappropriate behaviors that they have been exposed to on a daily basis in the classroom caused them to feel very uncomfortable and unsafe. Over the last school year, it became evident that specific threats to student safety, destruction of school property, and severe bullying amongst students seem to be handled internally without the involvement of law enforcement or communication with teachers or parents. In discussions about this, we were advised that threats of violence are pretty commonplace nowadays in the public school arena. My question is - should we not expect more when choosing to have our children educated in a Christ-centered environment? I appreciate the vision of current leadership at CCA. I think that their hearts for children and their desire to serve the Lord are genuine. However, from our family's personal experience, their vision and hope for what CCA should be is not what is being experienced where the "boots hit the ground" in the classroom.

This school is amazing for a god centered and quality education and they work hard to have their students and families to feel at home here.

Our son goes to Cornerstone, and we absolutely love it. The teachers are nice and we see a huge progress in his development since he started. He currently attends part time daycare. Unfortunately they will no longer offer part time option for daycare, and we are not sure if we will stay for full time:( , we are deeply saddened

OkHere’s the bottom line.Better to be safe than sorry.Schools are closed but your still having teachers come in to work.What we need from leadership is to rise above. Everything can be done onlineHaving people come into work at this time of crisis is crazy not to mention your liability issues to come.A concerned grandparent.PROTECT our teachers and kidsThank you

I sent my son to cornerstone for Kindergarten . My son was beat up by 3 boys ! He came home with Bruises on his face and chest. I went in the next day to talk to the principal. I ask him why I was not notified about my son being beat up by 3 boys . I was told by him exact words " it wasn't a big issue " Really ? This school was going to hid it from Me !If you kids Need extra Help this is not the place Because the staff give up on the kids and don't try to help them move ahead.I wasn't going to write anything till I heard there Advertising on the Fish saying that this is a safe place ! I am going to be contacting the Fish also !This is a great school if you want your kids to get beat up and left behind !My son is in a different Private school and is doing Great !

I had initially applied to a job opening with this company. They responded back to me stating that the position was filled but provided me with an email address to forward my resume to since they thought I would be a good fit for their associate they were referring me to. I emailed the lady named Maryl Colbort and she apparently turned out to be a SCAMMER!!!!! I thank my lucky stars that she wasn’t able to scam me since I was way smarter than her and did my research before depositing a $2500 cheque she sent me to book her a first class ticket from Toronto to Singapore. I got her contact from this organization which means you all are part of this scam or get some kind of money through this. I am reporting your agency to the Law enforcement together with the email that was sent to me!!!! People should know the true faces of this company!!!!!!
