Education that Echoes the Gospel

Classical Education is, in other words, a traditional education. It includes the three stages of development in the Trivium, which is Latin for, "where three paths meet". The first stage of development is the grammar stage which is the foundational stage of learning which includes memorization, recitation, and repetition. Children between the ages of birth to 12 are naturally good at this. Then comes the dialectic or "logic" stage, which consists of children who are generally between the ages 12-15. In this stage, students are learning to think critically and logically, through asking clarifying questions to make sense of what they have learned up to this point. ​The rhetoric stage is typically students 15-18. At this stage, students beginning to form their own ideas and share the knowledge that they have learned in the previous stages.​

​

At Cornerstone Community Schoolhouse, students will receive a biblical world view of learning through classical education (how to order things rightly and judge them well) as well as, learn life skills including: manners, gardening, sewing, cooking, music, and art. Classical Education teaches students wisdom and virtue in order train our ears to hear echoes of the gospel in Literature, Latin, Math, Science, History, and Geography to God's Word. Each Grade has its own scope and sequence, or standards of what they are working on. We will be teaching the classical core subjects using Memoria Press curriculum. Please go to  www.memoriapress.com for more information regarding this curriculum. ​This curriculum is scaffolded in such a way that allows students to fully grasp the concepts presented.

At CCS, we strive to use the complete curriculum with fidelity in order to ensure there are not gaps in our teaching. It is important to note that proper use of a curriculum creates consistency for the child to learn and grow. The teachers at CCS are skilled in adjusting their teaching to the student using, kinesthetic, visual, and auditory learning. Every student is God's unique creation, thus we use evidence and researched based teaching techniques and methods to support our students needs. ​

Due to our Partner Membership, with the Classical Latin School Association for the past two years, and the support of families around us, we have applied for a provisional accreditation through the Classical Latin Schools Association, which means we are on our way to becoming an accredited Classical school. This upcoming school year we will be working towards becoming fully accredited! 

**Cornerstone Community was created to meet the needs of families in our community who are not sure about homeschooling and/or need extra support or they are looking outside of public schools for their children's needs. Currently, Cornerstone Community Schoolhouse is only accepting students up to the grammar stage. However, as we grow, we hope to add on the dialectic and rhetoric stages.  With an ever-changing society, our intention is to provide an environment where students learn God's word, listen to how to apply it to the world around them through literature, and live their lives with the truth in their hearts and minds.**
