In 1984 a group of parents got together around a vision to provide quality Christian education for their children. As a result, Cornerstone Christian College was founded in 1986 with a total of 17 students enrolled. Today Cornerstone is a fully integrated co-educational K-12 Christian college with approximately 400 students. Cornerstone’s main campus is based in Busselton Western Australia with a second primary campus in Dunsborough. Featuring modern facilities, Cornerstone delivers a proven academic program by combining a Christ centred curriculum with high quality education; developing award winning students and strong leaders with character and integrity that are critical thinkers, able to serve others, engage with their community, critique their world and make a positive difference to society. Since its founding in 1986, there has been a strong focus on the importance of working in partnership with parents, based on a mutual understanding of a shared responsibility for the education of the children. Cornerstone has likewise been very intentional in fostering and sustaining a close knit community, reflected in a strong sense of connectedness and ownership. Since 2003 Cornerstone has operated with an open enrolment policy, meaning that anyone can enrol and attend the College; regardless of gender, religious beliefs, and socio-economic, ethnic and/or cultural background. However, as a Christian College, Cornerstone was founded upon and continues to operate according to a strong Christian ethos. The Christian worldview and faith is part of our very DNA and as such, this is a non-negotiable element. Cornerstone joined the CCM schools network in 2019, providing collaboration opportunities and resource sharing, whilst still maintaining the unique southwest flavour that the college is reknown for.
