THE SCHOOL DAY

At Cornerstone International School, every day is designed to balance learning, character-building, and joyful growth.
 

Our daily schedule helps children stay focused, refreshed, and engaged while maintaining the structure that supports academic excellence and moral development.

We operate from Monday to Friday, with each section of the school following a routine that matches the needs and pace of our learners.
