6th grade is a time of educational celebration AND a time of spiritual celebration. It’s not always easy to anticipate what 6th grade will bring. There is much newness to adapt to! While you may be sorting through your closet preparing for the upcoming school year or reviewing your school supplies list, there is one more thing to get ready for - being a 6th grader at Cornerstone! 

The 6th Grade Formation Class is geared to help all rising 6th graders prepare to become a part of corporate worship and Cornerstone Students. Integrating your student into Cornerstone Students during their 6th-grade year is CRUCIAL. Connections and friendships will begin to form immediately, and the hardest thing for a 6th grader to do is to catch up on connections that have already been developed. If you have a student going into 6th grade, this class, along with attending Cornerstone Students regularly, is so important!

The Bridge Schedule Overview

The Bridge Weekend Hangouts These two days are an essential part of The Bridge experience.
We strongly encourage every student to attend—these fun and meaningful moments help students build friendships and confidence before the Bridge Class begins. Students who attend these hangouts are far more likely to feel comfortable, included, and engaged throughout the full 6-week journey.
