Cornelius Early Scholars will prepare children for Kindergarten and a foundation for a successful future. Our focus is the whole child: language/ literacy, critical thinking, early math, social skills and emotional well-being. Fostering a joy for learning, confidence and skills necessary for Kindergarten and beyond.
The goal of Cornelius Early Scholars is decidedly faith-based. In addition to academics, the children will learn the foundational elements of the Christian faith and the Gospel.
We believe that this foundation of faith will forge a strength of personal character necessary for long-term success.
Cornelius Early Scholars plans to take a unique approach to early childhood education by educating the parents as well. Kids need their parents or guardians to be involved in their education if they are to be successful. Unfortunately, some parents just don’t have the skills or training to help their kids at home. While there won’t be a financial cost for most of the students, our parents will participate in classes designed to teach them to teach their children lifelong learning habits
Cornelius Early Scholars will operate from
Monday-Thursday
School hours are 9am to 1pm. Lunch is provided for all students free of charge

Cornelius Early Scholars follows the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Traditional Calendar for holidays, vacation days and teacher workdays
The age cut off for kindergarten in North Carolina is 8/31. We follow the same procedure so that your child is on schedule for entering kindergarten. Your child must be the required age of the enrolled classroom by 8/31 for your child to be accepted into that age group. We do not advance kids into older classes once they turn a year older. For example, if your son turns 4 on October 5th, we will not place him in the 4’s class. He will remain in the 3’s class for the entire school year.
Cornelius Early Scholars has state religious exempt licensing.
The school is inspected by the Fire and Health Departments annually and meets and exceeds all county and state regulations. Safety drills are conducted periodically with the children. Designated locations are assigned to each classroom in the event of a natural disaster or need to lock down.
In addition, the campus is equipped with staff-controlled security doors in which all visitors entering the building are screened for your child’s protection. We ask for your cooperation with all our safety efforts.
We follow the CMS schedule for holidays and school closings for inclement weather. Preschool will not be held when the public school is not in session. Please watch for preschool emails, Remind, Class Dojo, the internet, and local television stations for school closings.
If CMS schools are operating on a one-hour delay, Preschool will also begin on a one-hour delay. If there is a two-hour delay, Preschool will be canceled.
The preschool will make up snow days only as the CMS does. Please refer to their website for all changes. You will also be notified by the preschool.
