Tour our campus

The best way to get to know Pinecrest Academy is to come and tour our beautiful 68-acre campus. Tours are offered both during the school year and over the summer. If you cannot find a day and time that is convenient for you, please call our office and we will happily work with you.  On your tour, you can expect to visit our school buildings and key destinations on our private school campus. You will also meet members of our administration, staff and teachers.  Bring your questions with you!  Our Admissions team is here to provide information you need when making such an important decision for your children and family.

Shadow a student

Pinecrest Academy offers a Shadowing Program for students in 6th through 11th grade. A Shadow Day allows your student to visit the Middle or High School and accompany one of our students for a portion of the day.  This opportunity provides a first-hand glimpse of a day in the life of a Paladin.

Come to Open House

Our January Open House provides a 2-hour window into Pinecrest Academy. When you come, you will be directed to the school you are interested in (Lower, Middle or High School) and can expect to personally talk with administrators and teachers, while learning about our educational philosophy. Classroom visits are part of the experience, along with an introduction into our curriculum. Have children in various grade levels? Be sure to visit all of our school buildings. Our hope is that you can picture your family at Pinecrest Academy at the close of your visit.

Join our Pala-teenies

Pinecrest Academy's Pala-Teenies is a weekly, seven-week program designed to be a fun, social time between parents and their children, ages one to five years, with others in the community.  The program debuted in Fall 2021 and was enthusiastically received.

At each session, children will spend time on our Lower School campus, exploring a variety of hands-on activities that enhance socialization, stimulate the senses, and accommodate various learning styles. Activities include: gym time, story and craft time and a chapel visit.  Pala-Teenies is open to all in our community. Cost for the seven week session: $70.00
