School Distinctives

The Difference

Our seven core distinctives are the foundation for everything we do at Cornerstone Classical Academy.

It is our desire to establish Christ as the cornerstone in the hearts and minds of the children of Waco by offering a quality, Christ-centered education. Through a classical, biblical curriculum, with high standards for everyone in our community, and at an exceptionally affordable cost. We partner with families to seek excellence for their children.

  • Christ Centered

    We are proud of our identity as a Christian school, and we are committed to the truth, discipline, and values of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Curriculum is informed by God’s Word and students participate in worship, Bible, and prayer time.

  • Classical Education

    We embrace the long tradition of classical education that emphasizes seeking after truth, goodness, and beauty—teaching students how to learn and think.

  • Collaborative Partnership

    We encourage and enable families to build valuable relationships with their children’s school community so that the whole child can flourish. Families are the child’s first educator and need to be honored as an integral part of their child’s education.

  • Character Development

    We expect excellence in all our stakeholders: students, teachers, staff, and families, because we believe our community has remarkable potential academically, socially, and spiritually.

  • Cost Effective

    We believe everyone should have access to a Christian education. Families invest what they can while generous financial Partners cover the majority of operating costs.

  • Campus Diversity

    We enable diverse relationships within our school community so that students gain a broader perspective and deeper understanding of the world around them with all of God’s children being represented and in His image.

  • Community Focus

    We are building a school culture that allows for Christ's love to go forth and impact the Waco community as a whole.
