One School. Endless Possibilities.
The Pine School was founded in 1969 for the purpose of bringing a superior educational experience to K-12 students of the Treasure Coast. Yet, in pursuing this mission to its fullest, it also became a School of academic innovation, and a point of lasting pride for an entire community of students. With celebrated educators, beautiful facilities and multiple accreditations, it’s easy to see why families entrust their children’s entire pre-college education to us.

Our Community
The sense of community runs deep at The Pine School. We become like family, each deeply vested in the other’s success.
Learning Through Service
Our students don’t just check off volunteer hours to satisfy a Pine School requirement, they dig deep and come to truly discover how rewarding good citizenship truly is.
Beyond the Classroom
Learning may begin in our classrooms, but it does not remain there. The flexibility of an independent school education  means the freedom to explore lessons in exciting and new ways.
