New Christian School Opens in Turnersville, New Jersey

Cornerstone Christian Academy, a ministry of Calvary Chapel Gloucester County in Turnersville, New Jersey, hosted an open house and ribbon cutting ceremony on August 30 to celebrate the opening of their new Christian school.

The first day of school for the 34 Kindergarten through sixth grade students and 12 teachers is Tuesday, September 6. 

“Cornerstone is the answer to prayer for us,” said Amanda, the mother of two children who will be attending the school.  “With all that is going on in the public schools, we felt that we needed to find a school that supported out Christian values.”

Cornerstone will not accept any government money and relies on tuition, donations and grants.  Faculty include retired and former public-school teachers.

 The school occupies Calvary Chapel Gloucester County’s children’s church area within the church complex. 

“The space remained empty on weekdays,” explained Regina Schaefer, Cornerstone Christian Academy Head of School.  “We are so grateful to the congregation for their support and prayers.”
