WHY PINE CREST?

“When our daughter arrived at college, she was so prepared. Pine Crest taught self-confidence, how to problem-solve—until the moment you move your child into the dorm, you won’t understand the immense influence of Pine Crest.”

“Pine Crest is where growth happens. Children are learning reallife lessons—when something does not work out, you pivot, and try something else.”

“Kindness and empathy are important in our world. Pine Crest teaches our children to function with character and integrity.”

Great News! You can join our tradition of giving today at www.pinecrest.edu/give or scan this QR Code:

“Pine Crest teaches students that future ready is confidence, independence, self-assuredness, mindfulness, presence, and the ability to face any challenge.”
