Wecome to our Primary School. Preparing Accomplished well-rounded individuals.
Head of Curriculum Introduction
As the Primary School Head of curriculum, I am always excited and happy to work with the children and watch them achieve the targets set for them. Our mission is to offer them a firm foundation based on Christ that will enable them to face junior secondary school with confidence. It is here that children discover and grow their talents, in and out of class. From the exceptional artists to the roaring musicians to the dashing athletes to the nerdy quiz wizards, we not only offer the necessary conducive environment for talent to be explored, but also sharpen talent to the levels of each individual.
We are tireless in our commitment to developing students who are academic standouts and active community servants. You have many options of schools to educate your children in the Zimmerman area, and we believe that you have made the right choice. We thank you for entrusting your scholars into our care and service.
The one constant about education is that it’s dynamic. At Cornerstone Academy we are always continually seeking opportunities to help prepare our children for the future. As we embrace the changes.
