Tiffany Franklin, whose two children, 5-year-old Aidan and 9-year-old Arthur, are Cornerstone students: My husband and I live in Detroit. We were seeking a school that provided a balance between academics, faith, extra-curricular activities and personal views for our children. We researched and visited many other top performing schools in Detroit and the suburbs. We found that Cornerstone provided the balance we sought. The school provides an excellent Christ-centered education from pre-K all the way through high school. The teachings of Jesus are throughout the day and the children can pray in school. Cornerstone’s 11-month school year and the curriculum help students test one to two grades above grade level. One thing that makes Cornerstone unique is the faculty. The attentiveness given to each child to ensure their personal success is important. Mrs. Brockman is the primary school principal. She is a good leader and her teaching staff is caring and nurtur

Two families, one faith, one school

ing. We have two children who attend Cornerstone, and we see firsthand how the primary school teachers have adapted to ensure that the learning needs of each of our children are met. The PLATO lab provides individualized instruction too. My husband and I made the best choice for our children. Detroit resident Andra Jerdine, whose 16-year-old son, Andre, attends the Corn erstone Leadership and Business High School: My wife and I were seeking a Christ-centered school for our son, Andra. Cornerstone was recommended by a friend. After visiting the school I immediately knew that this was the place for our son. We wanted a place where Andra could be comfortable expressing himself and his love for Christ. The school produces students who are kind, respectful, optimistic, self-disciplined, generous and faithful. The Cornerstone community embraces all families regardless of their differences. Everyone is treated equally. It is like a tight-knit family there. Parents get involved in

their child’s education and school because they feel part of a family and community. You help because you want to. A lot of creativity has gone into providing academic and after-school programs – kids benefit from Spanish and Mandarin Chinese language programs, an award-winning chess team. There is a vocal and strings program that improves concentration and math skills. They even have mentors that teach children how to succeed in business. The teachers and administration are supportive and do everything to ensure our son’s success. When speaking with others about their child’s education and the cost for tuition, I ask, “Isn’t your child worth it?” It’s a matter of priority for my family. We want the best for our son and Cornerstone is the best. There truly is no other school like Cornerstone.
