We are a diverse group of Upper Valley residents, including teachers, educational leaders, and entrepreneurs, who are united by a common goal. We care deeply about our community and especially about our children's education. Our collective commitment is our strength. 

Charter schools are tuition-free, mission-driven public schools. They provide a range of options so parents, of any means, can choose the school that best fits their child's needs. Charter schools level the playing field for children with learning differences or special interests. 

We have been approved for a substantial Charter School Program  Grant, which will provide us with start-up funds!

Literacy is a silent epidemic all across our country. Too many children are not learning to read or write proficiently. But here's the good news: Research shows that 95% of children can learn to read by the end of first grade with the right kind of instruction. We know better, so we must do better.

The Foundation exists to support the planning, development, and operation of Cornerstone Charter School, including submitting a charter application, securing a facility, recruiting board members, creating community partnerships, and fundraising. 

​

Cornerstone Foundation is currently seeking board members and will soon be registering as a nonprofit with the State of New Hampshire. After charter approval, the anticipated opening date for the school is September 2025 for kindergarten - grade 3.
