  • Subjects Covered: Expands on the one full day free offerings while providing experiential, hands on activities to provide more meaningful connections in learning. Bible will also be offered as a course. Our Bible course is taught in a family-style format, meaning students K-6 learn together through shared stories, discussions, and activities that help understand scripture at an age appropriate level. Lessons introduce key biblical themes, character qualities, and stories that students can continue exploring at home with their families. Each week, we will provide simple follow -up prompts or readings so that parents can extend the conversation, reinforce understanding, and cultivate faith together at home. This approach honors the home as the center of spiritual formation while giving children a strong foundation during their enrichment day. All courses at Pine Haven Christian Academy will be approached from a biblical perspective.

  • Schedule: 8:30 am-3:00 pm

  • Homework and Assignments: Families are provided with monthly pacing guides and suggested assignments to complete on non-school days. These guides are designed to support families in structuring at-home learning in a way that fits their individual schedules. During on-campus days, students will engage in monthly unit themes that intentionally align with and reinforce the parent pacing guides.
