Pinewood Voices
"Both of my daughters attended Pinewood K-12 (they refused to leave along the way). They loved the experience, and we really appreciate the individual attention and care the teachers and administrators provide - no child will be lost at Pinewood. The school prepared them extremely well for their college experience - my elder daughter went to Harvard and the younger to Stanford, and they don't miss a beat due to the great foundation Pinewood gave them."PINEWOOD PARENT
"I don't think it would be possible for me to love a school more. This place has been life changing for my entire family. The dedication of the staff is incredible. Every day when I drop my kids off it feels so much more dear than simply taking them to school, it feels like I'm taking them to spend time with the rest of their family at their home away from home. My children thrive here. They are safe, nurtured, challenged and loved, and they feel it at Pinewood."PINEWOOD PARENT
"For ten years, I have witnessed this magic: genuine care and concern by our inspired teachers that ultimately inspires students to reach their potential. It is an honor and a privilege to work with such a devoted staff."PINEWOOD Faculty member
“Our little girl entered high school at Pinewood shy and uncertain. Four years later, she emerged a young woman who knows herself as a scholar, an athlete, an actress, and a great friend. What a gift.” PARENT OF AN ALUMNA
“The teachers care so much! They've helped me grow into a great person because they push me to become better every day.” PINEWOOD STUDENT
