Pine Forge Academy (PFA) has once again distinguished itself on the national stage, recently earning the prestigious “Large Group of the Year” honor at the Kingdom Image Awards (KIA). This remarkable achievement celebrates not only the academy’s longstanding musical and cultural legacy but also the dedication, discipline and artistry of its talented students.
The highlight of Highland View Academy’s (HVA) spring recruitment season will be Academy Days, held April 12–13, 2026.
This two-day event invites students in grades 8–11 to stay on campus, participate in interactive activities, meet current students and staff, and get a genuine taste of academy life.
Parents are also encouraged to attend to learn more about HVA’s academic programs, financial aid options and faith-centered mission.
As Highland View Academy (HVA) looks toward 2026, the campus community is energized by a clear vision: to grow, connect and inspire the next generation of Christ-centered leaders. With the new year comes a renewed focus on recruiting and welcoming students who are ready to grow spiritually, academically and personally in a supportive, family-oriented environment.
Nestled in the rolling hills of Hagerstown, Md., HVA continues to offer a distinctive blend of strong academics, vibrant campus life and spiritual formation.

Over the years as a cardiologist, I’ve seen one simple truth become clearer with time:
Scripture’s wisdom about the heart—both literal and spiritual—is continually affirmed by experience.
What the Bible has long taught about nourishment, rest, moderation, community and purpose is no longer seen as merely devotional insight or something practiced by a small corner of the world; it is now being embraced at a cultural level with remarkable enthusiasm.
