The Pines Christian School has enacted enhanced health and safety measures for our students, parents, and employees. Our goal is to do our part in curbing the spread of communicable diseases, including COVID-19, while maintaining an educational, nurturing, and creative environment for your children. An inherent risk of exposure exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is a highly contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, senior citizens and people with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable. By enrolling your child at The Pines Christian School, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and other communicable diseases. Let's all do our part in keeping each other healthy and safe.
The 22/23 school year will bring many new challenges regarding education and child care. Be advised that due to the unpredictable nature of Covid-19, we reserve the right to close or modify services as deemed necessary to remain compliant with current health and safety protocols.

Awesome Summer School
At Pines Christian School, we continue to adhere to a time-honored traditional education. We utilize a variety of curricula but the foundation of our education is Abeka. It is a 'Christ-centered' format that extends our values in our Faith, community, and moral ethics. Although Abeka is used for most of our core subjects, we also use: Scholastic, Studies Weekly, SRA, RFU, Houghton Mifflin and others.
While our fundamentals provide a solid academic foundation, we also nurture critical thinking skills and real life applications. Unlike public schools, we do not teach to the Common Core standards, but those benchmarks and concepts are met when students graduate from Pines. Our small class size offers endless possibilities for growth in addition to personal interactions that nurture spiritual, social, and emotional maturity.
At Pines Christian Preschool, we provide a “full-service” program to better serve our busy families. Convenient services like complimentary food service and extended day care hours are available year round. We have developed a balanced academic program created to provide an exciting and active learning environment. This well-rounded program is offered at an affordable rate.
We have designed our facilities to be totally Kid Friendly! You are invited to experience the happy sounds of children at play—call us to schedule a tour!
Nurturing Staff
Our staff of qualified nurturing teachers are all ECE certified and have current CPR and First Aid certifications. We hire only experienced and nurturing teachers to care for our students.
Complimentary Meals and Snacks!
Meals and snacks are always included with your tuition. We serve a variety of meals every week, such as: spaghetti, hot dogs, sandwiches, oven baked chicken or chicken nuggets, quesadillas, tacos, and much more. Pick up a monthly menu from the preschool office.
Our preschool campus is conveniently located one mile south of the main campus at 1516 Anaheim Street Harbor City, CA 90710. Enrollment forms are available on campus.
Our facilities were designed from the ground up as a school. It’s open beamed ceilings in the classrooms, dining room, and chapel give it a camp-like atmosphere. Kids love our modern playgrounds, complete with a mini-amphitheater. Our air-conditioned chapel is the perfect setting for watching a video on our 10-foot theater screen or listening to a guest speaker. Because so many of our students spend so much time on campus each week, we have designed our facilities to be Kid Friendly! You are invited to experience the happy sounds of children at play—stop by any time!

A Note from the Principal
I have been blessed to be a part of Pines Christian School since 1994. To see it grow and flourish has been a wonderful journey for me. Each year we add to the physical plant with fundraisers and parent participation, but most importantly, we see the “real” growth in our students. They begin their academic journey with little to no life experience. They see a big world but do not see their place in it. As the year progresses, we get to see them grow and mature in many ways. They make significant strides physically and academically, but most importantly, they grow in character. This year our students participated in St. Jude’s, helping fight childhood cancer. We collected pennies to help Tarahumara Indian children in Mexico get a chance at education. We sent over 26 boxes to our military to bring Christmas to our troops. We had a children’s choir from Uganda for a special chapel. Our students are learning that while the world is a big place, every one of us has an important role to play; this an essential part of building character and a big part of the Pines experience.
