Cornerstone Christian
Academy
Living Waters Christian
School was founded by Living Waters Church of Shelbyville in the fall of
1984 to provide quality Christian education.

During the first year,
there were 33 students in grades 1 through 12 with a staff of 6. At that
time, the student enrollment was 80% from living waters church and 20%
from other area churches.
Due to rapid growth, it
became necessary for Living Waters Christian School to add additional
classrooms and office space. This additional space included twelve
classrooms, an annex building and three portable classrooms.
In 1999, the church and
school set forth a plan that would allow the school to achieve
independence and establish its own identity. Subsequently, the school's
name was changed to Cornerstone Christian Academy that was then governed
by a board consisting of Christian leaders throughout the community.
At then end of the 2002
school year, 85% of the student enrollment represented over 50 area
churches. The remaining 15% came from Living Waters Church, giving us a
community Christian school with a student population of 192 students.
In the summer of 2003,
the school had to move to accommodate its growing numbers. Cornerstone
built a 25,000 square foot building just a couple miles down from where
it all began.

In 2004, again feeling
the need for more space, and through God's grace, the school added an
additional wing allowing up to 10,000 additional square feet. The school
has completed the lower level for the 2004-2005 year adding an additional
5,000 square feet of classrooms. As the school continues to grow, there is
an additional 5,000 square feet on the upper level of the new addition
that can be finished.
In
March 2006, Cornerstone received full accreditation by the Association of
Christian Schools International [ACSI].

man makes noble plans, and by noble deeds he stands." Isaiah 32:8
