Cornerstone Christian School

Who we are: We are a non-profit, tax-exempt, Christian School that is nondenominational and not affiliated with a particular church. Our students and teachers come from various church backgrounds. We hold that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and that salvation and eternal life comes from faith in Jesus Christ.

History: Cornerstone started in 1992 taking off from the closure of Garden Life Christian School. The School has been located in various churches in London until it relocated in Lily, KY in 1998. 

Location: We are located in the former Lily Public School at 420 Lily School Road.

Credentials: We are accredited by the state of Kentucky and the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). Our staff members are certified or are completing certification through the KTIP program or ACSI. Our preschool is also licensed by the state.  
 
Enrollment: We normally average between 160 and 200 students each year in grades PK through 8. 
 
High Academics: Our Primary grade classes normally score in the top 10% of nation on standardized tests each year. The school, as a whole, averages in the top 25% of the nation. 
 
Spiritual Environment: Students participate in daily Bible lessons and weekly chapel services. An emphasis is placed on a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Curriculum: We use mostly Christian resources for our curriculum. Some of the publications we use include: Abeka, Precepts, Shirley Grammar, and Clairmont Press. 
 
Preschool:  We have a top-notch 3- and 4-year-old preschool that is nurturing, fun and academic.  Students are introduced to the ABEKA program where they learn their letters, numbers, special phonic sounds and blends, and some sight words.  They are also taught fine motor skills including writing, coloring, cutting, etc.  Preschool students participate in our specials classes: Spanish, Art, Physical Education, Music, library, computer and Bible. 
 
Extra Activities:  We offer a host of activities for students including Art Club, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, gymnastics, cheerleading, basketball, volleyball, tennis, music, Spanish, computer and more. 

Tuition: We do not accept state funding; therefore we operate on tuition, fundraising, and donations. We do offer tuition assistance to families who have difficulty affording a Christian education. We have set up a scholarship fund for that purpose. We use an independent organization (FACTS Management) to evaluate which families qualify. Anyone may ask for a financial aide application from the school office or apply online.
