The science, technology, engineering and math-focused school previously served preschool through eighth grade, but is expanding its student base to high school with a freshman class beginning in fall 2025, according to a Dec. 2 news release.
The details
Cornerstone Christian Academy, the only STEM-certified school in Fort Bend County, opened in 2003 and is located at 2140 First Colony Blvd., Sugar Land.
The school will use its existing campus to accommodate the new freshman class, Julee Chang, director of advancement, marketing and communications for Cornerstone Christian Academy, said in an email.
The campus will also welcome Joshua Gettys as its new high school principal, according to the release.
"We are honored to have Mr. Gettys join the Cornerstone Christian Academy family," Head of School Eric Nicholie said in the release. "His extensive experience, passion for Christian education, relational capacity and dedication to fostering a culture of excellence make him an exceptional leader for our high school program."

School officials also announced a new $315,000 playground, which opened Nov. 18.
The new playground features equipment designed to enhance physical activities in kids, according to the release. Chang said the playground is for preschool through elementary school and is already being enjoyed by students.
