About Us

The Mission: To provide a learning environment where students’ passions direct the day-to-day learning.  Students create projects and become active citizens in their community.  Kornerstone School will provide students with the foundation and path to be successful in their profession of choice and make a significant impact in their community.

 

Kornerstone School serves up to 75 Kimberly Area School District students in grades 8-12 who have a passion for learning. The school best serves intrinsically motivated students who want an individualized curriculum.  Students who successfully complete their educational requirements at Kornerstone School are equipped with academic and employability skills necessary for post-secondary education.

 

Kornerstone is a constructivist school.  The school uses the advisory model to build community, relationships between students and adults, and as the basis for an individualized approach to learning.  All students are met at their current levels, and their passions and future goals in post-secondary education and their profession of choice are used to inspire and chart their learning at Kornerstone.

 

Project-based learning (PBL), in which the learning is student centered, is the primary curriculum delivery method at Kornerstone.  Students choose a variety of independent, group and seminar projects throughout their high school experience at Kornerstone.  Independent, group and seminar projects are created, planned, and learning is recorded by the student and at least one advisor.  The process consists of an in-depth proposal that describes the process of research, questions, tasks, product creation and intended presentation or showcase of the learning.  Learning is recorded based on standards and credits are assigned based on the school’s five-year curriculum.
