Preschool in Sugar Land, TX 77479
Excellence in Christian education is the driving force at Cornerstone Christian Academy. Cornerstone founded in 2003 will add 8th grade to its program for the 2011/2012 school year. This addition expands Cornerstones offerings to include a preschool (beginning at two-years-old) an elementary program (bridge-kindergarten through 5th grade) and a middle school program (6th through 8th grade) by next fall.
