Fulfilling the individual needs of each student.
Academic Excellence Since 1985
Cornerstone Montessori School excels at providing children in Kindergarten through to Grade 7 with a strong foundation to their education. Our students are in an environment that nurtures the whole child, celebrates inclusion, and embraces innovation. Cornerstone staff take pride in igniting the internal spark in each and every child, which leads to social, emotional and academic success!
“Montessori is an education for independence, preparing not just for school, but for life.”
— Maria Montessori, 1870-1952
The Cornerstone Difference
Academics
The curriculum is designed to stimulate the interest of students and awaken their sense of wonder and amazement, setting the stage for meaningful education.
Philosophy
Our educational approach is rooted in Montessori philosophy, committed to traditional values, whilst incorporating progressive education practices.
Small Class Sizes
By maintaining classes with a low student teacher ratio, Cornerstone children receive significant individual attention. Our classes have no more than 15 students per teacher.
Admissions
The admissions process at Cornerstone School offers the opportunity for you and your child to become better acquainted with the school’s staff and programs. We invite parents and students to visit the school and learn about the ‘Montessori method’ and the unique programs offered at Cornerstone School.
Learning
Preschool
Cornerstone’s preschool currently remains closed, and will not be re-opening for the 2024/25 school year.
Kindergarten
Kindergarten is a very important year for the child. It is in this year that all the work done in the past two years comes to fruition and many children ‘explode’ into reading and writing.
Primary
Cornerstone teachers challenge students with advanced concepts, delve more deeply into curriculum content, and move significantly beyond the required curriculum.
Intermediate
Our intermediate program takes all of our values and philosophy from our primary program, and incorporates it into a more traditional style of education.
