WELCOME
TO CIAS

Welcome to CIAS!

Christian Institute of Arts and Sciences

CIAS is a K-12 private school serving the Pensacola community and homeschooled students across the Florida Panhandle and beyond. We offer two programs to families: a full-time K-12 Campus School with flex/hybrid options and a homeschool Umbrella School. Our student body is comprised of different kinds of learners: honors, general education, and special education (ESE). CIAS proudly uses a successful homeschool model, so our students can prosper in an individualized academic program created just for them within our school environment. We have small classes, low teacher-to-student ratios, utilize an eclectic curriculum, and offer intervention and tutoring as needed for our students to thrive and grow.

CIAS offers a wide variety of classes (both in-person and online, platformed on Google Classroom), from academics to fine arts and physical education. Homeschooled students may attend our Campus School 1-5 days a week, take a class, join a science lab or club, and participate as much or as little as they like.

CIAS is celebrating 29 years of educating God's children during the 2025-26 school year.
