Cornerstone Christian Academy, a private Christian school in Sugar Land, has announced an enrollment increase of 36 percent from August 2009 to August 2010. The school’s enrollment, including preschool, elementary school and middle school, is at 320 students, up from 236 in the fall of 2009.
“We are thrilled with our growth and owe it to meeting the needs of our community and providing a quality education in a Christian environment,” said Chad St. Jean, head of school. “Our percentage growth has never been this high. Our numbers are there to show the trust our community has in us. We do not take that lightly.”
This fall, CCA added a seventh grade and introduced a competitive athletics program with its first-ever sports event, a girl’s volleyball game, last week. The Cornerstone Cougars will have their first football game this Thursday.
Staff, curriculum and facilities have been enhanced to accommodate CCA’s growth. A new preschool director position was announced last spring to lead CCA’s preschool. LuAnn Park now serves as the school’s first preschool director. Curriculum has been modified to reach a growing number of students.
“The successful aspects of our school remain constant, from our extended day program to our small class sizes. We are tweaking and adding to ensure a phenomenal education for our students,” Park said.
Located in Sugar Land, Cornerstone Christian Academy opened its doors in September of 2003 as a small Christian preschool program. Having added a grade each year, CCA now teaches two-year-olds through the seventh grade. CCA will begin an eighth grade this fall to complete its middle school.
