A Letter From The Founder

Dear friend,

250 years ago, a bold generation of Americans risked everything to form a new republic — not merely to build government, but to raise citizens. Their conviction was that a free people must be virtuous, capable of self-government, and grounded in truth. As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday in 2026, I ask: What kind of citizens will we send into the next 250 years?

My answer is personal, and it begins at my kitchen table. As a mother of two daughters, I asked: what kind of education would cultivate not just intellect, but character, virtue, and love of our country? What school would teach not only facts, but wisdom — not only skills, but souls? That question birthed Cornerstone Classical Academy.From that modest beginning, CCA has grown rapidly. In just a few short years, we have enrolled over 1,000 students, and we now maintain a waiting list of another 1,000 families eager for seats. That demand signals a deep hunger — a hunger for an education that forms free-thinking, virtuous Americans.But there is more work to do. The waiting lists are a constraint. To meet the demand and to answer the call of our time, we must expand. We must launch new classical charter schools and help other classical schools — first in Florida, then beyond. We must train an entire generation of leaders who know why America matters, how liberty endures, and what virtue looks like in practice.I invite you to partner in this mission. Together, we can ensure that as America turns 250, she is not merely commemorated — she is renewed. Let us give the gift of education to a free republic that depends on it.

With deep gratitude and resolve,

Lindsay Randall

Founder, Cornerstone Classical Foundation
