Academics
Learning with a Purpose
The Pineview Christian Academy experience begins with a strong spiritual and academic foundation, guided by dedicated teachers and staff who understand the responsibility of shaping both hearts and minds. Our educators serve as steady guides—Sentinels in the classroom—standing firm in their commitment to faith, excellence, and intentional formation.
Small class sizes allow our teachers to truly know each student and family, building meaningful relationships rooted in trust, consistency, and care. These connections create an environment where students feel supported, challenged, and confident—often forming relationships that last well beyond their years at Pineview.
Teaching That Engages with Purpose
At Pineview, learning begins with the teacher. Our highly relational faculty members are intentional in the way they engage students—cultivating curiosity, discipline, and a genuine passion for learning. By infusing a Biblical worldview across the curriculum, our teachers help students develop discernment and critical thinking skills that prepare them to assess, evaluate, synthesize, and solve problems with wisdom and conviction.
Students are encouraged to think deeply, ask meaningful questions, and grow into individuals who are grounded in truth and prepared to lead with integrity, all for the glory of God
Equipped for Lifelong Learning
Through learning centers, small-group instruction, hands-on experiences, collaborative activities, science labs, role-playing, curriculum-based field trips, reading labs, and thoughtful integration of technology, Pineview teachers create a learning environment that is both engaging and purposeful.
Our Christ-centered, standards-based curriculum provides a well-rounded course of study designed to equip students for success at the next level—academically, spiritually, and personally. More than preparing students for the next grade, Pineview fosters a lifelong love of learning, confidence built through preparation, and character anchored in faith.

K-5 Curriculum

Science:
Bob Jones University Press
This program will equip students to apply science to life by building foundational knowledge and skills with pre-assessments, scaffolded instruction, spiral review, and hands-on activities. Explorations in scientific inquiry give students opportunities to observe, classify, measure data, analyze data, make inferences, and communicate their findings. When they interact with and use models, students are better able to explain and describe their observations as well as make predictions about scientific principles they’ve learned. Collaborative STEM activities give students opportunities to design, test, and refine engineered solutions to real-world problems

Social Studies:
Bob Jones University Press
BJU Press’s elementary heritage studies guides students in analyzing and evaluating historical events, world cultures, and primary sources from a biblical worldview.

This process results in deep understanding and long-term retention of mathematical reasoning. Strategic practice and review build computational fluency and prepare students for authentic learning as they connect math concepts to everyday life.

Bible:
Bob Jones University Press
The BJU Press elementary Bible program helps to bridge the gap between head knowledge and heart knowledge by guiding students as they study, interpret, and apply a biblical worldview. Elementary Bible builds on 147 foundational Bible truths that present the Bible as a complex yet coherent story that is relevant to all people for all time. Our sequential approach to Scripture’s story and fundamental doctrines gives students a foundational understanding of God’s Word from Genesis to Revelation and offers opportunities to practice comparing worldviews. When students know God’s Word, their hearts can change to love and worship God and, in turn, love others as themselves. When the Word of God changes students’ minds, hearts, and actions, they can live like Christ and share the truth of the gospel with others.
