Individual learners are at the core of The Pine School’s academic program. The curriculum for each grade and each subject is structured to meet the needs of students at that age and stage of development, based on the latest brain research. Small classes enable teachers to give students personal attention and to engage all learners fully in every class session.

From Early Learning through the Upper School, students are engaged in academics, multicultural studies, technology, sports and athletics. They become skilled at presentation skills and collaborative learning. Artists and scientists visit the campus and engage the students in learning that goes beyond the traditional classroom. Field trips are planned with the purpose of augmenting and supporting the curriculum at each grade level.

The core of our program is a strong traditional platform of reading instruction, writing, and mathematics.  Our goal is excellence without compromise in these areas; our commitment is to build the best writing and mathematics programs found anywhere.  We want our students to not only be excellent writers, but to be published.  In math, we want our students to compete with students around the world.

The Academic Center is available for students who need additional assistance in mastering basic skills and concepts; it is also available for students who are advanced beyond the curriculum in certain areas.

Faculty members at The Pine School have developed an integrated curriculum through Curriculum Mapping. Teachers constantly pursue professional development to keep them abreast of the newest and most appropriate materials and techniques for creating an ideal educational environment.

It is the strong belief of The Pine School faculty and administration that every child can learn, but every child learns differently. Within each classroom, students develop strategies that make them effective and efficient learners. In addition to demonstrating excellence in specific academic areas, The Pine School students become successful life-long learners.
