Cornerstone High School Academic Mission (Grades 9-12)
“The mission of the Cornerstone
Charter School is to provide meaningful and responsive
educational programs and environments to address our community's
interest while preparing for and nurturing high academic
achievement with our students. Cornerstone's goals and aims for
our students include cultivating character, self-direction,
academic achievement, and critical thinking. The Cornerstone
Charter School will offer grades 9-12 high school students an
alternative environment to pursue a credit recovery program and
dramatically progress towards graduation in a highly
concentrated, efficient manner. We will serve a population of
at-risk students (which includes but is not limited to students
that are identified as dropouts, have a history of behavioral
issues, adjudicated youth, students that are more than one year
behind in academic credits or grade level performance, and
students that are pregnant or parenting) that can be over age
and underserved and give them an alternative opportunity to
achieve a high school diploma.”
School/Academic Goals
To provide students with a solid base of knowledge and skills as measured
by scope and sequence of comprehensive program of instruction and
achievement.
Encourage students to apply communication, critical thinking and
analysis skills to problem solving and decision making, i.e., cognitive
opportunities as measured by achievement on relevant inquiry-based
performance assessment activities. The curriculum instructional
resources and methodology is continuously reviewed and updated by our
faculty to meet the needs of student learners. Special attention is
given to math and English skills by placement testing and foundational
remediation.
