Financial Assistance for Students Enrolled in K-12

At Pinewood, we believe in cultivating a diverse and inclusive community, where every student has the opportunity to thrive. We understand that families come from varied financial backgrounds, and we're dedicated to ensuring that economic circumstances don't stand in the way of a top-tier education. If your family requires financial support, we warmly invite you to explore our financial assistance options. While our funds are not unlimited, we genuinely encourage those who require assistance to apply. Please know that the financial assistance process runs parallel to our admissions procedure, so if you anticipate a need for aid, both processes should be undertaken during the admissions season. To maintain transparency and fairness, we've partnered with FAST—a trusted third party—to streamline the online application and help us gauge the level of assistance we can extend.

Annual Giving

Most independent schools, including Pinewood School, rely upon charitable gifts beyond tuition income to support school programs. The Annual Fund First campaign provides the resources that make the difference between a good education and a truly exceptional one, where innovative ideas for teaching and learning are not held back by operating budget constraints. Pinewood depends on the participation of our entire community to support the Annual Fund First Campaign. We invite you to make a gift this year and every year. Every gift, no matter the size, is important.
