Excellent approach to learning! Kids feel like they matter.

The Pine School is a great place for students to learn, grow, and succeed! The closeness of the community, support of the staff, and involvement of the students fosters many levels of relationships and creates an environment that cares about educating the entire student. Students not only receive a well-rounded curriculum saturated with academics, athletics, and the arts, but also are able to partake in many traditions that make The Pine School unique to any other institution in the area. Highly recommended!

A small, resource-rich environment in which each student is known by their instructors and given every opportunity and encouragement to explore and build genuine understanding.

The Pine School really is a unique find. It offers such a wide range of unique opportunities and provides a real balance in supporting students to build strengths while challenging them to try new things. My daughter has enjoyed so many amazing experiences that she simply would never have had at a large public school - and the flexible tuition program really worked to make this investment in her future a reality.

Just amazing! My son was a student here for 14 years (PK-12) and The Pine School will forever be his and our family! Everyone knew him and cared about him from the teachers to the administration to the dining hall staff and maintenance. He was able to play multiple sports and participate in multiple musical groups over the years while maintaining his academics. The Pine School really focuses on the whole child and making sure that they become responsible global citizens - doing a lot of community service. Not every school is perfect and not every year was smooth but that is life and I would not have changed a thing. Children at The Pine School are down to earth and welcoming - the school prepares them to take on whatever path they choose in life.

My children have just started attending The Pine School this year. We are so happy with their new school and truly appreciate the caring relationships they have with their teachers. What a great place for learning and character development!

The Pine School has a warm community of teachers and staff. You can sense that the teachers are happy to be teaching and interacting with the children. The small class size makes it possible for each student to have a positive experience.

Beautiful, unique campus. Great, happy faculty. Strong academics. Lots of opportunity. Family oriented. Not snobby at all.

The Pine School is a lovely source for growth and opportunity. Whether your child is in Kindergarten or high school, book worm or athlete (or both!), your child is guaranteed to have a family of faculty and staff supporting them starting their first day of school. The campus is immaculate and the dining hall has endless options. Thanks to TPS's small class sizes, students are able to receive the academic challenge and support that they need. Furthermore, students receive thorough college prep, from test tutoring to mock interviews. The Pine School strongly encourages the exploration of new hobbies and interests. The Pine School understands that every child has different interests and learns in different manners. The faculty and staff are constantly revisiting their teaching approaches to ensure that their students receive the education that they deserve and can benefit from the most. When you come to The Pine School, you know that you are part of a family that truly cares.

The Pine School is a wonderful school, on-campus it feels like the perfect combination of education and fun from K-12, in the classrooms each and everyday from 1st grade to 12th grade they prepare you for the real world and college experience. The cafeteria is wonderful and the services provided are also excellent. The staff at The Pine School are very interactive and helpful at the school. For your first tour on campus I would recommend talking to these people specifically: Mr. Chimelis and Mrs. Lettengarver, they show exemplary communication skills and show high levels of hospitality. The campus is not only efficient with education, it is built to modern design to essentially promote students to learn better. One of the top clubs on campus that I personally got to see is the Junior National Beta Club, with my current research done on this club, I believe this club is highly selective with prestigious kids. I think this club should also be available to the Upper School as the Senior National Beta Club, but other than that academia and campus vibes are set at high levels. I am so grateful that I got the opportunity to tour this campus. I would recommend this school to any child that enjoys learning.

17 years ago we made the decision to have our two daughters attend the Pine School. Every year we debated over the price of the tuition and the value of an education. We wanted the best possible for them. We can now say that is was worth every penny. How can you put a price on the social structure, the safety , the over all care ? We highly recommend the Pine School.

As a student at The Pine School, I can truly say that the school is preparing me for acceptance to an elite college and a successful future. The teachers really care about the well-being of the students, and the student body feels like one big family. I would highly recommend this school.

I have been at this school for the past 10 years and am a senior this year. I love The Pine School and all the great opportunities I have been able to take advantage of just by going there. Students and teachers have a true connection and they become your friends, I would feel comfortable talking to them about anything. They truly care if you understand the lesson and are always available for extra help. Throughout my years here I have never experienced the classic clique social life that is said to occur in private schools. The small class size allows for us to all be good friends and we are all one family. It is also a great college prep school, the college guidance counselor is fantastic, she truly knows what she is doing. I would not have been able to get into my school if it weren't for her. I wouldn't trade my time and experiences here at The Pine School for anything.

Slightly above average academic experience. Matriculated for college, good academic prep and university placement. Sadly, very poor social experience for many kids. Expect cliques and "have/have not" experiences associated with private rich schools. Leadership is selectively strong and involved, but inconsistent. Money rules, so admin, teachers and coaches must tread lightly. Players on sports teams do not start based on ability, politics involved. Most teachers are very good, but there are notable exceptions. Questionable academic value for the money.

LOVE The Pine School. My children excelled in there classes. The teachers are very caring & offer a great learning envirement. My daughter graduated and is currently attending the College of her dreams because of what The Pine School has done for her along with a Fantastic College Counsler. My son left wanting to try something different. After 1 year gone we are now back & we couldn't love The Pine School Families anymore than we already do. Keep up striving to be the best you can be Pine!!

Left The Pine School because our children where not be challenged because there are alot of kids with learning issues.This is because all levels of kids are mixed academically. This is not good for the students. Also, if you are very wealthy you can threaten to pull your kids if you do not get your way. This is no way to run a school. Those kids need more specialized attention, just as high achievers do. Hard to teacher to all The kids at the same time. This does not make a college Prep school, as they claim to be. You should have to meet a criteria to go there. As long as you can write a check, anyone can go there.

The Pine school has absolutely no academic flexibility, because hiring a new teacher is too expensive! The faculty is rude to parents and students. Financial debt is crazy.
