"I simply can't say enough wonderful things about Pinecrest Academy, and the people who make it so great! On a whim, we attended an Open House, more out of curiosity than a need since we were very happy with the experiences our children were having in the public school system. From the moment we drove on campus, we began to see what makes PA so special. It sounds implausible to say a school that you've visited one time could feel like family, but it absolutely did. By the time we had heard from parents, teachers and the administration, my husband and I were convinced this was the type of learning environment in which we wanted our children. We had high expectations going in, and they continue to be exceeded at every turn. The cost of tuition is definitely a factor for our family, but the sacrifices we are making to give our children this experience is absolutely worth it to us." - Julie Boucek, Pinecrest Parent

“We are not Catholic but feel so at home at Pinecrest. The school considers us 'family' and the entire Pinecrest community is dedicated to making everyone feel included. Pinecrest provides an academically challenging education for children of all faith backgrounds, and even provides a separate report card based on character development. This is huge! Life is more than just a grade; it is how the individual grows into adulthood.” - Nikki Van Wingerden, Pinecrest Parent

"As a new family to Pinecrest, we were happy to find a truly welcoming atmosphere from administrators, teachers, and parents alike. There is a genuine sense of caring for the whole family which made our transition much easier." - Karen Kress, Pinecrest Parent

“At Pinecrest I’m surrounded by encouraging teachers and a Catholic community that I call my second family. With so many amazing opportunities to learn and serve, I’m able to grow in leadership, faith, and my understanding of the world.” - Anne Frain, High School Student
