Welcome to Cornerstone Prep School!
Cornerstone Prep School opened in the Fall of 2022 and is the fourth school in the Capstone Education Group family of schools. CPS is a public, tuition-free, college-prep charter school located in Parkway Village and serving families in Parkway Village, Sherwood and surrounding communities. Our school location is at 5221 Cottonwood Rd. Memphis, TN 38118. We are serving students in Kindergarten and 1st Grade for the 2023-24 school year and applications are now open.
As a continuation of the CEG mission, we believe that every child in Memphis deserves access to a high-quality, college preparation neighborhood school. Dr. Dandridge has built a staff that is caring and dedicated, with an unwavering belief that all students matter and can learn at a high level. CPS will have a key focus on literacy and will partner with MTR's Memphis Literacy Institute.
