Pinewood's Benefit Auction - Pinewood School

About Us
Welcome to Pinewood!
We are a thriving community of kind and well-rounded students, faculty, administration, alumni, parents, and friends. Please take a look around - we're glad you're here!
Admissions
We Would Love to Meet You
Visit any of our three campuses, and you will immediately sense the exuberance, kindness, and intelligence that our teachers and students inspire in each other every day. Together we create a transformative environment of high expectations, energetic self-expression, and warm encouragement. Quite simply, we love it here, and we believe you will too.
Academics
An Academic Culture of Growth
Through the five tenets of our founding philosophy — passionate expertise, confident self-expression, academic stamina, grounded core values, and supportive exploration — we instill curiosity, mastery, and independence.
Arts
Learning Through Expression
Students from kindergarten through 12th grade study drama, take part in plays and musicals, and learn a variety of increasingly complex visual arts techniques. The results speak volumes. Our students express themselves confidently, respectfully, and vividly, not only with their peers, but with adults. This ability gives them a huge advantage when they enter college—and for the rest of their lives.
Athletics
Exemplifying Excellence
At Pinewood, we believe that athletics contributes to the growth of each student's character. Our mission is to provide competitive opportunities that emphasize the lifelong values of sportsmanship, individual effort, teamwork, dedication, and integrity.
Student Life
Unlimited Exploration
Pinewood offers students numerous opportunities to explore their own diverse facets, known and unknown. No matter what endeavors our students choose to pursue, their experiences spark a journey of self-discovery that is never defined or restricted by labels. At Pinewood, you won’t find the usual stereotypes or clichés—just unlimited exploration.

What is the Pinewood Benefit Auction?

The Benefit Auction is Pinewood School’s annual fundraising and community-building event. This fun, adult-only night offers entertainment, food, drinks, a silent auction, a live auction, dancing and so much more. Each year, the Benefit brings together Pinewood parents, faculty, and staff to celebrate what we are most proud of: our community!

The Benefit Auction proceeds support our Faculty Professional Development and Graduate Study Reimbursement Program. Each year, we aim to raise as much as possible for these important programs.
