Cornerstone Senior & Junior School is a mixed school offering both boarding and day options. The school is located in Chitungwiza along Mbudzi Road, just opposite the Limbani Turnoff, while its Beatrice campus is situated approximately 5 km from the Mubaira Turnoff (52).
The school was founded in January 2016 with a clear and unwavering mission to provide every learner with a world-class education grounded in strong Christian values, academic excellence, and personal development. Over the years, Cornerstone has steadily grown into a respected institution known for nurturing confident, responsible, and high-achieving learners.
Cornerstone has built a solid reputation for delivering quality education that is reflected in learner performance and overall development. Both the Junior and Senior Schools operate under the Cornerstone Group of Schools and are fully registered with the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education as private formal institutions in Zimbabwe.
The success of the school is driven by strong collaboration between the Board of Trustees, dedicated teaching staff, and an active Parents–Teachers Association (PTA), all working together with a shared commitment to supporting children’s growth and success.
Cornerstone focuses on developing learners who embody its core values of Humanity, Integrity, Diligence, Team Spirit, and Hard Work, living up to its inspiring motto:
“Learning together… Achieving together.”
The school has also recorded notable academic achievements. In 2025, Cornerstone was nominated for achieving the best results in the Trust Schools category for Harare Province, recording a 100% pass rate.
