School
Cornerstone High School is an outgrowth of Chalutzim Academy, which has been teaching students since 1978. We are dedicated to educating students in preparation for higher education, as well as helping them to grow in their spiritual lives. We are a Messianic Jewish school, serving students from varied backgrounds. We also serve the homeschool community, allowing students to enroll part time to supplement their education at home. We have begun the process of accreditation, having been established as Cornerstone High School for nine years. Our student body has grown from 10 to 40 students, in grades 9-12. Our small class size allows for individual attention, and encouraging of each student’s interests and abilities.
Staff
This year our staff includes 10 teachers, each one with either a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree, and an average of 8 years experience teaching in his/her field. Several on the staff have been teaching for 20-25 years or more.
Each one is expert in his/her field of teaching, 5 of them having worked in that field before teaching
Curriculum
We offer a full high school curriculum through the four
years. Honors courses are available, including Hebrew, History,
English, Mathematics, and Sciences. Honors students in 11 th and
12 th grade are also eligible to take courses at local colleges,
including Eastern University, Villanova, and Delaware County
Community College. Students have taken courses there which have
been accepted at their colleges once they graduate.
All students perform community service projects, and have the
opportunity to work in internships as well. This gives them an
opportunity to try different areas that may be of interest to
them. Our mock trial and debate teams have excelled. We also had
a team of "senators’ who participated in a mock government
program
