The buildings are beautiful three-story brick buildings, with striking finishing details, and the ceiling of the atrium in the main building has a beautiful mural depicting the heavens opening for Jesus' return.

Hear No Evil*See No Evil*Speak No Evil Hood said he planned on being there a long time, but he's apparently gone already, as so many before him. Could've seen that coming from a million miles away. By the way, Cornerstone had my first review taken down, as I now suspect many other critical reviews have been. Cornerstone has had some amazing people, Mr Harrison, Mr Puente, Mrs Puente (God rest her soul), Mr Hudspeth, Mr Sessions, Coach Navarrete, Mrs Ruvalcaba, and others, but the administration changes constantly! The big secret is, untouchable families, who do whatever they want, whenever they want, however they want; many are athletes and staff from the church and school. Shouldn't be that way, but we experienced it over & over. So, we left. Many others have left for the same reasons. A friend living near the school took their kids out because the administration wouldn't deal with the untouchables harassing their child who's on the spectrum. They told us 3 other families -on-their-street- left also. Cornerstone should be training up a righteous generation, but instead they're just coddling untouchables. Sad... Change must come from the top. We can only hope & pray.

The kids learn through play...how human beings were designed to learn. When people see how WELL their kids learn and how HAPPY they are learning, it's not uncommon for people to get a strange sensation of both happiness and sadness. I believe that's because we intuitively understand that was the educational experience WE were supposed to have as kids but never did. Oh, and the kids are actually sad when they can't go to school and learn new things. That's exactly the kind of education system our nation so desperately needs.

Felt our child was not safe…read more Our child attenteded the Farmhouse program (3-5 years old) in January 2022 and we withdrew him about 4 weeks into the program. The issue that made us withdraw our child had to do with an inclement weather situation. At the time, the farmhouse program was very fluid between indoor and outdoor activities, with the child being able to decide what he/she wanted to do. The problem arose when inclement weather struck combined with a minor COVID outbreak. 1. COVID Policy: If there was a COVID case, the policy was to close the indoor spaces and have the kids be outside only due to not having enough space to safely accommodate all 37 students - this was perfectly acceptable 2. The Inclement Weather: When inclement weather struck (high of 34 degrees), the Farmhouse program remained open and we were given instructions to bundle our kids so they could handle being outdoors for the entire duration of the classtime. We did not feel comfortable leaving our child out in near freezing weather for three hours straight 3. What Puzzled Us The most: our understanding was that all the other programs (Kinder-8th) - which had enough space to safely accommodate the children indoors - were going to be entirely indoors due to the inclement weather. It was only the Farmhouse Program which would be outdoors, and to reiterate, it would be outdoors for the entire three hours of the program We  felt that it would be inhumane of us to send our child out in the cold when we ourselves wouldn't be out there, so we kept our child home during those days of inclement weather. However, as we thought about it more, we realized it would have been perfectly acceptable of the school to ask parents to keep their children those days due to the unfortunate timing of events with the indoor space issues they had and the COVID outbreak. But to make the decision to keep the school open and feel comfortable having pre-school age children in near freezing weather for three hours straight raised an immediate red flag as to other decisions that might be made in the future. There were other smaller red flags with decisions like these, but this one made it very clear we needed to withdraw our child. There were absolutely good things about the program itself that we liked and it is hard to write a review like this given that the program itself seemed to have merit over a traditional school setting. We also intentionally waited 6 months after the incident to write the review so as not to write out of emotion. We hope this review helps others and also would be ecstatic to find out that those policies/decisions have changed.

All teachers and staff are there to pray for and encourage your child every step of the way. It's awesome to have such a caring extension of our Christian principals being taught at this school. The teachers that are called to teach at a Christian school are very special people in my eyes. I'm certain they can find another teaching job that pays twice as much in the public school system and they feel led to work at NBCA. I always pray that God would bless each and everyone of them for following their calling. Definitely worth the investment for our kids.

This school has been just what our family needed, as new residents of the area. The academic curriculum is both challenging and age-appropriate. I am constantly amazed by what my children are learning in school, but they're also having fun! The teachers and staff are loving and dedicated to enriching our children's lives. For this staff of educators, it's more than just a job...it's a calling and a ministry and they give so much of themselves on a daily basis. And lastly, the families...so many wonderful parents and kids at this school. I love that the parents are both encouraged, and welcomed, to be involved and present in their children's educations. NBCA is a family...one that we're blessed and so happy to belong to.

Okay, so I feel the need to step in and respond to Amy S's assassination of Ms. Gallego's…read morecharacter. I don't know what happened. I don't even care. But Ms. Gallegos is an exemplary woman who is literally falling all over herself to be sweet, loving, and kind to children. My son has high special needs and Ms. Gallegos is his favorite person in the whole world. I don't care if she downs a case of beer when she gets home. I don't care if she smokes a plant in her free time. She's a wonderful person who cares deeply about the kids. Trying to get her fired is the act of a child. She's not being employed because she's beautiful - what a hateful and ignorant thing to accuse. Now, the reason the school gets 3 stars is that they do very well for kids who are neuroatypical and don't have high needs. My kindergartner is well taken care of by the school and has a teacher who he adores. My older son was not a good fit for the school. He has a brain injury that has caused behavioral issue and the school isn't capable of handling anything beyond mild delays and behavior issues. They suspended him knowing that was exactly what he wanted - think in large part, because they no longer wanted to deal with him. So, it's a 5-star school for the average kid, but I'd steer clear for special needs kids. They just are not prepared.

Start with the administration that will "hear" your voice but they don't listen. They push subjects down to young people who are not ready for the content either morally, emotionally and intellectually.
