At Pinewood, technology is a key part of our K-12 curriculum through our Computer Science & Engineering (CS&E) program. Starting in kindergarten, students learn basic programming, robotics, and design thinking. As they progress, the curriculum becomes more advanced, with hands-on projects and tools like CAD, 3D printing, and Python programming. By high school, students can choose from electives like AP Computer Science, Mobile App Development, and Data Science. This program not only teaches technical skills but also encourages innovation, critical thinking, and responsible digital citizenship, preparing students to lead in the modern world.

Pinewood is committed to developing well-rounded students by providing a diverse range of experiences that foster growth in academics, arts, athletics, leadership, and social-emotional learning.

• Academics: Our robust academic program is designed to challenge and inspire students at every level, from Kindergarten through 12th grade. With specialized teachers guiding each subject, students build a deep understanding of core concepts and are encouraged to think critically and creatively. This strong academic foundation prepares students for college and beyond, equipping them with the skills and confidence needed to succeed in their future endeavors.
• Performing Arts: Every student in grades K-8 participates in a class play or musical each year, while students in grades 7-12 can audition for theater productions and perform in choirs and dance groups.
• Athletics: Starting in grade 4, students can participate in after-school sports, with opportunities for growth, competition, and leadership. We welcome all interested students to join a team.
• Daily Physical Education: Students in grades K-8 have daily P.E. classes, emphasizing movement and play as essential parts of their day.
• Computer Science & Engineering: Technology is integrated into the classroom experience from K-2, becomes a formal part of the curriculum in grades 3-6, and offers foundations and specialized learning opportunities in grades 7-12.
• Leadership Opportunities: Leadership begins early at Pinewood, with 2nd graders serving on the "Buddy Brigade" and grades 3-6 participating in student council. Sixth graders lead campus events and intramural sports. In grades 7-12, students can represent their peers on the student council and apply to the Pinewood Envoy Program to engage with visiting college representatives.
• Social Entrepreneurship: The Pinewood Scholars Program in Social Entrepreneurship empowers students in grades 7-12 to tackle real-world challenges with creativity, focusing on social innovation, sustainability, and community impact.
• Student Life: Our K-6 students enjoy regular spirit days and competitions, while students in grades 7-12 have a full schedule of spirit days, competitions, dances, and events that build school spirit and camaraderie.
• Social-Emotional Learning (SEL): SEL is deeply integrated into our K-6 curriculum, with Kimochis for K-2 and Wayfinder for grades 3-6, helping students develop emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills. In grades 7-12, SEL learning continues through "community days," where students engage in meaningful interactions with their peers.

This well-rounded approach ensures that Pinewood students grow not only as scholars but also as confident, compassionate individuals ready to make a positive impact on the world.
