"Reading, writing and arithmetic" is an old saying that describes the important part of a good education. Excellent academics is certainly an expectation when considering your child's educational journey.

But what about the formation of your child's character? What about his or her walk with God? What about the shaping of virtuous behavior, and teaching integrity, honesty, and goodness?

If these things matter to you, it might be time to think about the school choices you have. Pinecrest Academy is a private PreK-12 Catholic School and educates students through Integral Formation, a four-pillar approach to educating the whole child -- through human, intellectual, spiritual and apostolic formation.
