1: Introduction
Cornerstone Prep Cornerstone Prep emphasizes the following five priorities: 1) College prep begins in kindergarten, 2) High expectations support high achievement, 3) Every minute counts, 4) Leadership matters, and 5) Urban students deserve the best. This video describes how Cornerstone Prep has strengthened buy-in from the community to achieve its goals. An art garden is featured throughout the videos.

Once per week, dozens of students and other children in Binghampton, with community volunteers, engage in creative arts in the art garden. (Read the full article here.)
