STEM and Coding
In K-4, students are introduced to coding through applications such as Minecraft EDU, Scratch Jr., Lightbot, and Bee-Bot.
Their experience in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEM) builds throughout the Lower and Middle School as they advance to higher levels and tackle additional projects.
In the Upper School, Students can opt to take Intro to Computer Science to learn web application development (HTML, CSS, PHP, Bootstrap, Javascript) and other responsive design. Squishy Circuits, littleBits, and Makey Makeys make creative engineering projects fun, and the 3D printers in each division enable students to design and print 3D projects.

Hour of Code is the largest educational initiative in the world. The purpose is to introduce coding to students, and The Pine School has participated since 2013. Hour Of Code teaches students how to think like a computer, how to use programming to control robots using Javascript and Block based coding, and a myriad of other computer science introductory skills.
The Pine School is an independent college preparatory school educating students in Kindergarten through 12th Grade.
