Summer Festival of Learning

Summer 2024

Pinewood's Summer Festival of Learning (SFOL) offers a purposeful educational experience that encourages students to seek knowledge, demonstrate character, build confidence, and experience joy.

Pinewood's two- or four-week summer program provides a unique blend of academic and enrichment classes designed to sharpen academic skills and deepen a love of learning in an uplifting environment. Specialized teachers and small classes maximize the summer school experience. Our curriculum emphasizes academic growth as well as joyful participation in the arts, technology, and athletics. This balance has been unique to Pinewood from its founding and remains central to the Pinewood experience.
