CORNERSTONE BAPTIST DEAF ACADEMY, INC.
We believe in our enduring intentions, and that is to see our deaf get their education
and take a bigger step in making their dream come true.
With the eleven years we have operated, the Lord has blessed us with students and dedicated teachers. Each year, we have seen them grow with our school becoming a household name not just among our deaf children's families but largely in this area where alternative education is lacking and not readily dispensed.
Our small school has become home to deaf children from four towns and 10 barangays of Tarlac. For four years these children have grown with us starting from zero knowledge in sign language to gaining the confidence of being and :feeling" regular school children. Many of them travel from neighboring towns just to access what we could offer them lost, that is, basic education, communication skills, Biblical values, and the renewed hope to build and lead their lives.
We started as a small, "home school-type" religious institution, and eventually incorporated livelihood activities into our program. The latter coupled with languages and communication skills, youth camp socializations, and educational field trips developed in our deaf students the basic abilities to become independent members of their own communities.
