Philosophy

Teachers facilitate engaging and productive inquiry and discussion that balances and encourages academic, artistic, and athletic development. We provide a rich curriculum while striving to instill high academic achievement, a sense of commitment, and an obligation to community involvement. The Pine School continually builds on the core values of the School’s Honor Code: Respect, Responsibility, Honesty, and Equality. In addition, Pine School students are taught that growth and development are a way of life and that excellence is the product of effort, good habits, self-motivation, gratitude, and empathy.
