To support Dr. Markham’s commitment to sustaining a socioeconomically diverse school community, Pine Crest offers need-based financial and inclusion aid. A longstanding tradition, the School continues to expand and maximize the Pine Crest educational experience for students who may not otherwise have an opportunity to take advantage of the myriad of possibilities here.
Financial aid assists with base tuition and fees, and inclusion aid ensures access to essential services such as bus transportation and extended day programs. Students have received additional support for extracurricular activities and have been included in class trips, arts, athletics and academic competitions.
Philanthropic support helps create a vibrant academic community that encourages bold ideas and innovative solutions, shaping the future of both the school and its students.
As often shared by Dr. Markham, together, we are educating for quality of life. Thank you for partnering with us as we all work to raise the next generation of leaders.
In 2024-25 financial assistance:
- was awarded to approximately 14% of Pine Crest School families and
- bolstered inclusion aid to cover transportation and extended day services for all families receiving financial assistance, as well as ancillary charges like Learning Network services, class trips, laptops and AP exam fees for certain high-need families.
Margarita Kruyff ’06, Pine Crest School alumna and donor, said, “I continue investing in the success of Pine Crest because when I was a student here, there were moments that I was not sure I was going to be able to continue my education because of my financial circumstances. So it is very important to me to continue creating those opportunities for other students who may face the same circumstances.”
"The Pine Crest education sets up students to be the leaders of tomorrow. Success in that comes through the collective contributions of our community, not through the work of one."
