A school development team is exploring the opportunity to open a tuition-free, K-8th grade Core Knowledge school in the Hugo/WBL area. Cornerstone Preparatory Academy (proposed name) is being designed with kids in mind! Cornerstone will be a unique & fast-paced elementary school where kids are learning in the way that kids learn best – through hands-on, project-based units of study where subjects interrelate. You may find a group of children scavenging books and internet resources for information on the history of boats, while another group may be exploring the properties of buoyancy by floating different models of boats, while yet another group is building their own canoe that they will float in White Bear Lake in the spring. The kids that graduate from this school will be some of the most inquisitive kids you’ll meet.Cornerstone Preparatory Academy’s Founding Board is presently run by five members. The group is quite diverse in its training, education and project experience; it is that same diversity that has been beneficial for the members to plan and strategize for CPA’s future successes. The Board is responsible for the school’s staffing, curriculum and budget to make sure it complies with the rules of its Authorizer and the laws of the state of MN.
