What's Happening at Cornerstone? News and Updates

Parents, Students and Educators
What They Say

“Though I didn’t know it at the time, CDS meant everything to me. Ultimately, I was the one who made the choice to turn my life around and go down a new path.”
Student, Fort Lee, NJ

“I want to personally thank you for all of your help with this very difficult family. Their son is in great need of treatment and I know both parents are comforted by the high level of care that he will receive at Cornerstone. For them I know that they see the 24/7 hot line as a godsend: Mom said that it’s the first time that she can really sleep at night.”

Case Manager, Essex County, NJ

“Cornerstone meant a lot to me. It taught me how to cope. It has truly made me the person I am today, and I couldn’t be more grateful.”

Student, Union, NJ

PROM 2026

Prom 2026 was truly a magical evening and a celebration our students will remember for years to come. From the moment students arrived, the energy, excitement, and joy filled the room and created an unforgettable atmosphere for everyone in attendance. We are incredibly proud of how our students represented themselves throughout the evening. Their enthusiasm, kindness, and positive spirit made the night not only fun, but meaningful as well. It was wonderful to see students dancing, laughing, making memories with friends, and enjoying every moment together. 

We would also like to extend a very special thank you to our parents and sending school districts for their continued partnership, support, and strong commitment to Cornerstone Day School. Your dedication to our students and belief in our mission help create opportunities and experiences that make evenings like this possible.
