Voices from the Washington-Parks Academy
"I am absolutely convinced that Washington Parks Academy is a great school for my son. He is a 4th grade honor student with strong work ethics. My son has had the pleasure of being involved in many programs at Washington Parks. The biggest thing I can tell you is that big changes are ahead, wherever our children go to school. I have found that in Cornerstone Schools, the kids are required to take control of their own education and progress, and because of that at least in my experience, they grow so much faster. I get compliments all the time on my son and his attitude toward school." -- Aschandria Fisher

"This is my first year at Washington-Parks and I absolutely love it. The moment I walked in the door, I felt welcomed. The Principal is a very loving individual. When you talk with him, you feel like you’ve known him for years. The teachers are very concerned with not only the children’s learning, but also their well-being. My children’s teachers are the best! I am very happy about the decision I made to become a part of the Washington-Parks family and I am looking forward to an EXCELLENT school year!" -- Mrs. NaKisha Tillman-Barber

"I have two children attending Washington-Parks Academy. I love the new technology provided for enhanced learning as well as the Rosetta Stone Language program. The staff/parent relationship is great, especially in respect to the outreach opportunities afforded during this economic downturn." -- Mr. Travis Peters

"What I like about Washington-Parks Academy is the balance it brings with respect to the educational tools provided, academics, classroom instruction, and after school activities. I am very comfortable leaving my child under the direction of the teachers and staff." -- Ms. Doris Bryant

"I cannot praise Washington-Parks enough for all the positive reinforcement, academics, enrichment and structure provided to the students. As this is our first year, we were seeking an educational facility for our grandson that would help to mold our grandson to become a well-rounded and grounded young man. My wife and I are overjoyed to have secured such an excellent institution for him. We cannot wait for the next school year to also enroll his sibling so that he may begin his journey at Washington-Parks and be afforded the same exposure to the wonders of learning as his brother." -- Mr. & Mrs. Rod Williams

"I absolutely love Cornerstone Charter School – Washington Parks Academy! They offer a different type of learning experience that's both challenging and balanced with love, values, & respect. I have two boys enrolled at the school, one in Pre-K, and the other in 2nd grade and the academic level in which they perform continues to astound me. My Pre-K son is quickly learning how to read, and my 2nd grader is currently enrolled in a variety of enriching courses, including Music, Art, and Spanish – of which he has been enrolled in since Pre-K. I would definitely recommend Cornerstone Charter Schools to anyone who wants an alternative to Public Schools!" -- Porsha Mitchell

"This is my first year at Washington-Parks and I really like it. The staff is very nice and there is a variety of activities in which to participate. I chose volley ball because I enjoy it a lot. The friendships are great." -- Kacie (6th Grade)

"I think Washington-Parks is great! This is my first year and I am enjoying it. I like the teachers and the variety of classes. I also like that it is a safe environment and there is a lot to learn." -- Prince (6th Grade)
