At Pine Crest School, student success isn’t measured solely by grades or college acceptance letters. It’s measured by confidence, independence, resilience and a sense of belonging. It’s found in the quiet moments, a child learning to read with joy, a teen organizing their thoughts after a hard day or a student walking into a room full of peers who understand their grief.

At Pine Crest, students are not only preparing for the future—they’re shaping it. For Charlotte Thies ’25 and Jake Weidenfeld ’25, that future is rooted in empathy, leadership and the courage to connect through shared experiences.

At Pine Crest School, academics or advanced technology don't solely define future readiness. It’s also built through something deeper: character. For Dr. Krista Promnitz ’97, Executive Director of Educational Support Services, character development is one of the most powerful future skills a student can gain.
