"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 set the foundation for all the success that students realize throughout Lower School. Early Childhood students playfully explore their classrooms and our campus as they’re introduced to our rich program and collaborative learning approach, including science, dance, Spanish, and more. Our Preschool, Kindergarten, and Grade 1 students learn to love school and to love learning!
As students move through elementary school, they delve into increasingly more complex projects that involve a variety of faculty and subject areas in science, visual and performing arts, and introductions to technology and design. With a strong emphasis on social and emotional learning, students learn to build their individual skills while managing the dynamics of working together in small groups.
The Middle School provides a caring community where students are known for who they are, it’s safe to take risks, every student is challenged, but not overwhelmed, and they learn to organize and manage their lives as students. Advisory meetings set their day and week, where they delve into more independent projects that combine world languages, fine arts, history, math, science, and writing. As the leaders of our school, they take ownership over their school experience.
