About Cornerstone

Cornerstone Classical School is a Christ-centered community partnering with families to provide a classical Christian education. We believe education is about more than the acquisition of knowledge; it is about the formation of the whole person. Through the study of great works, the pursuit of wisdom and virtue, and the cultivation of a love for what is true, good, and beautiful, we seek to prepare students for a confident and faithful walk with Jesus Christ.

Cornerstone follows a collaborative education model, with students spending two days each week on campus and three days learning at home with their families. We partner with parents to provide a connected and purposeful educational experience.

At Cornerstone, relationships matter. We strive to create a community where students are known, teachers are supported, families are valued, and learning is purposeful. We believe the work of education is a partnership between the school, the home, and the local church, all working together for the glory of God and the good of others.

About the Role

Cornerstone Classical School is seeking a spiritually mature, relational, and capable leader to serve as Headmaster. The Headmaster ensures that the school's mission, vision, and educational philosophy are reflected in the classroom and throughout the school community.
