Campus Life

intentional spiritual interactions

To execute our mission to "educate world-changers for Christ," we place God and His Word
at the center of all we do; from curricula to lesson plans, all subjects at Pinewood are taught from a Biblical worldview.

In addition, all students participate in Bible classes in which they study the stories and themes of Scripture, as well as memorize key concepts and passages to under-gird their growing faith.

Lastly, students attend a weekly chapel services where they experience corporate worship and learn to apply their beliefs to everyday life.

junior high bible

Our 7th and 8th grade students take Bible with our Head of School, Mr. Borko.

Seventh graders learn the basics of Covenant Theology as they see God's plan unfold through His people from Genesis to Revelation. They learn that they are created in God's image and, as such, have unique roles to play in the building of His kingdom.

Eighth graders learn the basics of Christian apologetics through the Lightbearers curriculum from Summit Ministries. They learn how to own their faith and defend it in a variety of areas including theology, morality, biology, and politics.

safety PATROL

Students in 5th-8th grades have the opportunity to develop leadership skills by being part of our Safety Patrol. They arrive early and leave late. They are the first smiling faces students see every morning, and the last they see as they leave in the afternoon. They escort every PreK student to his/her classroom, ensuring their safety and security. They model the true spirit of Christian service to all students at PCA.
