Connect
Visit one of Pinecrest’s Open Houses and/or reach out to connect with our dynamic community.
Apply
Parents/guardians complete our online application form and remit online a non-refundable, non-transferable $75 application fee.
Submit Forms
In addition to the application, Pinecrest requires some or all of the following forms:
-
Online Teacher Recommendation Form. This form is required for all students, except for preschoolers who have never attended school or daycare before. A teacher, principal/director or daycare provider should complete the form. The teacher recommendation form is submitted online.
-
PDF Release of Records Form. For those applying to Grades 1-6, parents must download Pinecrest’s release of records form, fill it out and sign it, and then give it to the registrar of their child’s current school. For Kindergarten applicants, this is required as applicable, depending on whether your child’s previous school had academic records (i.e. progress reports, academic testing results). The registrar will mail or email the records to Pinecrest School.
-
Results of any outside cognitive, psychological and/or therapeutic testing. In order that that Pinecrest may better understand a child’s educational and/or social and emotional needs, parents/guardians should give Pinecrest copies of any outside testing.
Visit
Once the child’s application and all relevant forms have been received, the Admissions Director will contact the parents/guardians to schedule a prospective student visit (to be determined whether in-person or virtual).
Register
Parents/guardians will receive notification by email from the admissions team indicating the school’s admission decision. Acceptance emails will be accompanied by a link to our online student registration contract.
An annual deposit is paid upon the completion of the enrollment contract. The Deposit will be applied as a credit toward the Tuition due. The Deposit is non-refundable in all situations, including in situations of the Student’s withdrawal, dismissal, or other separation from the School. Parents’ obligation to timely submit the Deposit and Contract does not create a condition precedent for the School’s enforcement of this Contract. See the following annual deposit amounts:
- K-6: $2,000
Also paid during enrollment is a one-time new family enrollment fee of $350.
The registration contract and fee, the deposit, and the one-time new family enrollment fee must be submitted within the deadline date outlined within the acceptance email. After this period, Pinecrest School can no longer guarantee a child’s space in a class. Once all the above-listed items are received, the child has secured a place in the class.
