At Cornerstone, our mission is to train our young people to view every part of life from a Biblical perspective. God gives each of us different gifts, talents, and abilities – part of discipleship training is learning how to use these gifts for Christ. Cornerstone is a community based on the Lordship of Christ where our students, families, and teachers learn and grow together.
Cornerstone’s vibrant campus life offers students at all grade levels opportunities to develop their God-given abilities in a variety of contexts.
Elementary School
Grandparents’ Day
On this day in late October, the students welcome their grandparents into their classrooms with special activities and games. The morning begins with breakfast and ends with a special performance by the elementary school students.
Elementary Chapel
On Wednesdays, our elementary students have energetic and engaging chapel experiences. It is CCA’s desire to see every child build a solid spiritual foundation through engaging speakers, interactive songs and games that support Bible lessons, relevant lessons from the Bible that help students learn more about God and His desire for a relationship with them, and a time of self-reflection and worship.
Class Trips
6th Grade Trip
In the spring, 6th graders ventures on an incredible camping experience to learn about nature and God’s creation right where you’d expect to find it: outside! Our students also take part in exciting chapel sessions, hear from great speakers, and engage in hands-on opportunities that are both safe and fun.
7th Grade Trip
In November, our 7th graders take an unforgettable walk of faith through The Bible! The BibleWalk is a life-size wax museum that features 100 scenes and over 325 wax figures. Each scene is complemented by individual wall murals and authentic costumes. It is God’s Word in wax, alive with God’s Holy Spirit.
8th Grade Trip
In the spring, 8th graders have the opportunity to travel to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in Dearborn, MI.

9th Grade Trip
CCA 9th graders take an extended field trip to the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter in Kentucky in the spring.

In addition, our students experience Bible history by walking through the life-size Noah’s Ark. An overnight trip fee is required to help defray expenses.
10th Grade Trip

Our Executive Student Council leads the student body as a whole through planning school-wide events like Homecoming, Spiritual Emphasis Week, and Bible Conference.
