I feel so fortunate my three children have gotten to experience the full arc of Pine Point. It was here they found their voice, grew their confidence, and explored their curiosity. They felt safe and nurtured, with space to take risks, make mistakes, and learn how to adjust and try again. Pine Point has truly helped them flourish, and for that I am forever grateful.

In honor of The Pine Point Community
12 years of my life were spent at Pine Point School, but the friends I’ve made and experiences had will last a lifetime. My 9th grade trip is something that I hold so close to me, we bonded so much and became a family. And not going to lie I still talk a LOT about it, and share stories with new friends. Something that I love to do when I visit home is stop by and see the teachers at Pine Point. The bittersweet nostalgia I get entering the campus and seeing everyone is something that I’ll never let go of.

In honor of The fine, fine Faculty I have worked with for 35 years. who were exemplary teachers and role models for our four children who were fortunate to have attended Pine Point from Kindergarten to Ninth grade.
Pine Point is a most magical place to work and learn.
The teaching is unparalleled. The feeling of community and ubuntu is ever present. I have learned from and worked alongside exemplary educators for 35 years at this jewel of a school. We quickly found a sense of belonging as this fine community nurtured and encouraged our four children, and served as inspiring role models for sustainability, service learning and social Justice initiatives. The faculty at Pine Point teach from the heart; I am forever grateful for this village who supported my family and helped us raise four amazing humans. Natalia, Jeffrey, Jake and Olivia attended Pine Point from Kindergarten to Ninth grade and formed lasting friendships with classmates and teachers that continue to this day. Thank you Pine Point!
