Event Details

Join us as we mark our Quarter Century Celebration — 25 years of faithfully providing Classical Christian education in Gainesville.

This milestone honors the generations of students, families, and educators whose lives have been shaped by Cornerstone Academy’s commitment to academic excellence, Christ-centered learning, and character formation. For 25 years, our school has sought to cultivate wisdom, virtue, and faith in every student, preparing them not only for academic success but for a life of service and faithful discipleship.

The Quarter Century Celebration is an opportunity for our community to come together in gratitude and reflection. Guests will celebrate the remarkable journey of Cornerstone Academy, hear stories from alumni and faculty, and recognize the lasting impact of a Christ-centered Classical education on our students and families.

This event also provides a moment to look forward, as we continue to equip the next generation with the tools, knowledge, and spiritual foundation to live faithfully and impact the world for God’s glory. Together, we will honor the past, celebrate the present, and embrace the promise of the future.

Whether you are an alum, a current family, a supporter, or friend of Cornerstone Academy, we invite you to join us in celebrating 25 years of academic excellence, faith, and community.
