Varying from College Preparation to Performing Arts to Science and Engineering, each Pinecrest program follows a state standards-based curriculum unique to the community and students it serves. The constant, however, is a clear focus on high expectations for student learning and the multiple opportunities for all students to acquire requisite knowledge, skills, and attitudes. All Pinecrest Academy schools implement research–based instructional strategies and innovative resources in technology-rich environments in order to maximize learning for all students. This has proven highly successful in that each of the Pinecrest schools has been recognized at local and state levels and has won multiple awards annually for high academic achievement while serving a high percentage of minority students. To continue our dedication to innovative education, Pinecrest Academy Inc. has adopted blended classrooms in order to teach students how to become 21st century learners.
