## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — A Good Balance of Academics and Extracurriculars: My daughter is in Year 5 and we're enjoying her time at The Cornerstone Academy. She loves the STEM clubs and the teachers have been great at supporting her. However, I do wish they would invest more in the playground equipment - it could be more engaging for the kids. Overall, it's a good school with some minor improvements needed. *(Feb 2023)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional School - Highly Recommend!: We've been at The Cornerstone Academy for three years now and I couldn't be happier with the education and values our daughter is receiving. The facilities are excellent and the staff are all so supportive and encouraging. We feel confident that she's developing into a confident and articulate young adult. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — A Great Foundation for Our Sons' Futures: My two sons attended The Cornerstone Academy and I was impressed with the way they were challenged and supported. The EWC program was particularly effective in teaching them the importance of character and empathy. We're grateful for the strong foundation they received and are proud of the young people they've become. *(Jun 2020)*
