"Our teachers foster in students a joy for learning and a sense of inquiry that is sustained throughout their years at Pine Point. And as students progress and choose to take more intellectual risks, teachers are with them every step of the way building from their strengths and supporting them as they grow."
– Head of School Diana Owen
Pine Point's fine arts program attends to the whole child's educational experience. Art, music and dance are integral to our academic program, and curricular units are often complemented by an artistic component from one or several of those disciplines.
Our campus is full of natural beauty – including fields, trails, and a pond – and is surrounded by over 200 acres of conservation land. As a private school, we consider nature another classroom and integral to our program, whether for art students sketching animals or for young scientists studying water samples.
As an Independent Day School, we recognize that Pine Point’s students thrive academically and socially when every person feels valued and included. Our core values of respect, integrity, moral courage, and excellence serve as a framework for our community commitment to advance the ideals of equity, inclusion, and social justice through character education.
In Pine Point’s early childhood program, children grow in a safe, nurturing environment that builds confidence and independence. From preschool through lower elementary school, our program facilitates individual learning with a particular emphasis on play. The curriculum cultivates critical thinking and a love of learning while instilling empathy, respect for self, respect for others and responsibility.

The earliest years are where wonder begins. In a safe, joyful environment, our youngest students playfully explore their classrooms and 67-acre campus while building foundational skills in reading, math, Spanish, science, and the arts. By nurturing innate curiosity and social-emotional growth, we instill a lifelong love of learning right from start.
As students move into Elementary School, curiosity meets capability. Our project-based curriculum engages students in complex, interdisciplinary projects across science, technology, and the arts. In small, supportive groups, students build core academic skills, practice self-advocacy, and learn to collaborate effectively with empathy, integrity, and confidence.
Middle school at Pine Point is an adventure, not a transition. As the campus leaders, Grade 6–9 students own their educational journey—balancing challenging academics with athletics, arts, and off-campus discovery. Guided by dedicated advisors, students develop the grit, public speaking skills, and ethical core needed to excel at New England’s top high schools and beyond.
