2011-2012 At Cornerstone Leadership Academy, we strive to enroll capable students who bring a wide variety of skills, interests, and backgrounds to the CLA community.

Application Steps:

Step 1: Apply to Cornerstone Leadership Academy

Complete application and attach the most recent copy of your child's report card.  There is a $50 application fee required for the application to be considered, payable to Cornerstone Leadership Academy. 

Go to the Apply Now Tab located under the Admissions Page on the left hand side of the website.

Finacial aid is evaluated through the third party F.A.C.T.S.  Go to www.factstuitionaid.com to apply.  The company charges $25 for this process.

Step 3: Visit Us

Call our school office at 770-987-4400 to make an appointment for a tour, schedule a short parent-and-student interview with the director, and give the prospective student(s) a test evaluation.

Step 4: Admissions Decision

Cornerstone operates on a rolling admissions basis, meaning decisions are made on a weekly basis while spaces are available. To be considered for admission, all documents, including application, school transcripts (if applicable), teacher recommendations (if applicable), testing, an interview, and the application fee, must be completed and submitted to the school. Parent(s)/Guardian(s) will be notified in writing of the admission committee's decision regarding admissions and placement at our school. Once accepted, students can begin the registration process.
