At Cornerstone College, we believe that education should cultivate the full potential of each individual as a member of society. Our commitment is to nurture every child in our care and help them grow into stable, valuable members of society.
Education can no longer be the giving of knowledge only; it must take a different path. The consideration of personality, the development of human potentialities must become the centre of education.
