About Adams-Young Elementary

Adams-Young Elementary (K-5)

Cornerstone Adams-Young Academy serves grades K-5 in the former John King Elementary School that we have fully renovated so that this historic building is once again serving Detroit students. Highly-qualified, passionate faculty and staff create challenging, relevant, and meaningful lessons, while caring for the whole child.

Cornerstone utilizes technology to ensure students are competitive, and have many opportunities to master material at their own pace. We provide an adaptable environment where teachers and staff can personally interact with students and support individualized learning. Building good character is infused in everything we do. We expose students to career options from an early age, so they may explore occupations that align with their purpose and passion. Academic achievement, excellent character, and career awareness provide our students with the tools they will need to pursue complete lives.
