About Us
Our Mission
Cornerstone Christian Academy is dedicated to assisting Christian parents in educating the whole child, nurturing grace-filled relationships, and cultivating a biblical worldview.
Our Location
Cornerstone Christian Academy currently leases space from Providence Reformed Presbyterian Church, 9124 Sappington Rd., in Crestwood (see map below). As we grow, we plan to locate to a different, larger location, while still remaining in the south St. Louis county area.
Our Story
Founding board member and veteran teacher Anna More arrived at the idea of starting a school when she and her husband began searching for a Christian preschool for their son. Realizing that there were limited options for affordable, Christ-centered education in the area, Anna shared her desire to create this environment with a long-time friend and mentor, Brookie Moore. Brookie also recognized the need for this type of school, and together, they began the process of forming a board of like-minded individuals, including Noah Brink (author of Jesus Above School) and Lisa Grove.Â
Established in south St. Louis county in 2023, Cornerstone Christian Academy is an interdenominational school founded on a unique educational model that features a four-day week, a family-integrated focus, target-based learning, affordable tuition, and a thoroughly Christ-centered approach to teaching and learning. (See "What We Believe" here.) CCA opened in August 2023 with a soft start for preschool and kindergarten, and will expand to preschool through 4th grade in the fall of 2024.
Our Plan
Following our 2023-2024 soft start for preschool and kindergarten, Cornerstone Christian Academy will expand to preschool through 4th grade in the 2024-2025 school year. Our plans are to:
add an additional grade level each school year until reaching preschool through 8th grade;
simultaneously begin planning for a high school which their graduates can attend; and
use Cornerstone Christian Academy as a model for board members Brookie Moore and Noah Brink to guide other school start-ups that put Christ at the center and strive to further His kingdom.
