Campus Life

a biblical worldview

A worldview represents our most fundamental beliefs and assumptions about the universe we inhabit. It determines how we answer the “big questions” of life: who am I, where did I come from, why am I here, what is my purpose in life, and what happens after I die? As Christians we need to not only understand what it means to have a Biblical worldview, but also why we should hold fast to that worldview and apply it to all of life.

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.

intentional spiritual interactions

Pinewood Christian Academy is a gospel ministry of Pinewood Church. We believe that all people are estranged from God and condemned by their sinfulness (Romans 3:23), and our salvation is wholly dependent upon the work of God's free grace (Ephesians 2:8-9). God credits His righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation (Romans 10:13), thereby justifying them in His sight (2 Corinthians 5:21). Only those who are born of the Holy Spirit and trust in Jesus Christ alone as their Lord and savior become true children of God and heirs of eternal life (1 John 5:11-12).

Therefore, teachers, staff, and administrators are all committed to seeing that every student

understands salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone
demonstrates evidence of their salvation by good works
recognizes and embraces all opportunities to learn, to love, and to live as a follower
of Christ
accepts themselves and others as created in God’s image and uniquely gifted by God
to benefit the whole body of Christ
employs humility, empathy, and forgiveness in all of their relationships

sports

Pinewood Christian Academy offers competitive athletic opportunities through the Jacksonville Christian Athletic League (JCAL) for older students and the North Florida Independent School Athletic Conference (NFISAC) for younger students including soccer, volleyball, basketball, cross country, and flag football. Our high school sports are sanctioned under the Sunshine State Athletic Association (SSAA).

Additionally, we run intramural programs including cheer and Run/Walk.

extended care

Children are required to be under adult supervision at all times. Therefore, students on campus before or after regular school hours must be signed in to Extended Care. Extended Care is available from 7:00am-7:50am and 12:00pm-6:00pm on regular school days. All enrolled families may take advantage of this program on an as-needed basis for a low hourly fee.
We also offer weekly contracted rates for Pre-K students who use this service daily
(see "Tuition and Fees" section below).

We also offer Summer Care for currently enrolled PCA students.
