Cornerstone Learning Community

Cornerstone Learning Community in Tallahassee serves students from preschool through eighth grade using a project-based learning model. The 11-acre campus features wooded trails and outdoor classrooms used for science and environmental studies. Students engage in the "Cornerstone Morning" tradition, a daily gathering for songs and community building. The curriculum emphasizes social-emotional development alongside core subjects, with middle schoolers participating in annual "Expeditions"—extended off-campus trips focused on service or environmental research. Facilities include a dedicated art studio and science lab designed for hands-on experiments. Spanish instruction begins in preschool, and the middle school program includes a social justice curriculum component. This school is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) and focuses on experiential education. Parents should note that the school operates as a day-only program with a strong emphasis on family involvement and community-led events.
