There are just some specific apps that we would need that wouldn't reqiure internet connection to use once installed. My questions is, can i connect the ipad to the pc (which has internet connection)and download the apps through the store without having an internet connection working on the ipad? I think 'yes', but just want to double check.

Yep 100%,

You'd install itunes on the computer,
download the apps,
connect the ipad and sync away.

Though some apps require an internet connection based on their functionality
