About Cornerstone
Built on the Rock. Built for Your Child.
Cornerstone Christian Preparatory Academy was founded on a simple conviction: that South Carolina families deserve a rigorous, accredited, fully virtual K–12 education that never asks them to choose between academic excellence and Christian faith.
Our Mission
To Educate the Whole Child for Eternity
To provide a Christ-centered, academically rigorous K–12 education through an innovative online platform, equipping students in South Carolina with biblical wisdom and 21st-century skills.
To be the premier virtual community where faith and learning meet, fostering spiritual growth and academic excellence regardless of geographical barriers.
Scripture as Foundation
The Bible is not one subject among many — it is the lens through which every subject is understood and taught.
Academic Rigor
We hold our students to high standards because we believe every child is capable of excellence when properly equipped.
Family Partnership
Parents are the primary educators of their children. We serve as partners, not replacements, in that sacred calling.
Whole-Child Development
We care about minds, hearts, and character — not just test scores and transcripts.
Statement of Faith
What We Believe
Cornerstone is a non-denominational Christian school. Our curriculum and community are grounded in the historic Christian faith as expressed in the great creeds of the church. We welcome families from across the Protestant tradition who share our commitment to Scripture, the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and a Christian worldview.
We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God and the supreme authority for all of life and learning.
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity and humanity of Jesus Christ, His atoning death, bodily resurrection, and coming return.
We believe that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
We believe that all truth is God's truth, and that a Christian education integrates faith and learning across every discipline.
