Pinecrest Academy to Host January Open House

Pinecrest Academy, a PreK3-12th grade private Catholic school, will host an Open House on Sunday, January 28, 2018, from 1-3pm, in the Lower School Gym, on the school’s 68-acre campus in Forsyth County. This event coincides with a very special milestone for Pinecrest Academy – the celebration of its 25th year in Catholic education.

Families with children of all ages – even expectant parents – are invited to come learn about Pinecrest’s unique approach to educating the whole child, with the purpose of forming Christian servant leaders who will transform society.

The Open House Schedule is as follows:

1-1:15pm – Guests arrive, check-in, enjoy snacks and refreshments, visit table displays, meet administrators, chaplains, faculty, coaches, and staff

1:15-1:45pm – Talks by Fr. David Steffy, President, and Dr. Edward Lindekugel, Headmaster

1:45-1:50pm – Musical Entertainment by Pinecrest students

1:50-2:05pm – Talks by a parent, an alumnus, and Pinecrest’s Admissions Director

2:05-3pm – Classroom/Building and Campus Tours by teachers and student ambassadors

Dr. Lindekugel will share Pinecrest’s mission, which is to provide quality Catholic education while fostering integrally formed Christian leaders. This mission is pursued through the development of the whole person – called Integral Formation -- encompassing the commitment to teach, to educate, and to form:

• To teach the mind, transmitting knowledge appropriate to grade level in an environment of academic excellence
• To educate the heart, helping each student to love authentic values and to develop a sense of what is good, noble, just, and beautiful
• To form the character, which serves as the foundation of all virtue and integrity

Built upon the Christian view of the person, Integral Formation focuses on forming all dimensions of the person: intellectual, human, spiritual, and apostolic, achieving the complete formation of the student. Educators at Pinecrest Academy seek to help students know Christ, encounter Christ, and love Christ in service to others. The school’s motto is Semper Altius, which means “Always Higher.”
