School History

The Pine School was founded in 1969. The school was first called The Pine School under the leadership of

Mr. Harold Potsdam, its founder.  In 1975 the school changed its name to St. Michael’s School and a Board

of Trustees were appointed.  It was at this time that St. Michael’s became a non-profit day school with an Episcopal affiliation. In 1994, the Board of Trustees renamed the school St. Michael’s Independent School, ending the Episcopal affiliation, while retaining all of the same internal procedures and traditions. In July

in 2006, the school officially returned to its original name, The Pine School.

General Information

The Pine School is a college preparatory, all-faith day school that serves students from Kindergarten through grade 12. The Pine School provides a strong traditional core curriculum while striving to instill high

achievement and a lifelong love for learning. The school’s objective is to develop each student’s intellectual,

physical, and creative talents in a supportive and moral environment. Students are encouraged to promote

service above self and are inspired to develop a sense of commitment and involvement within their community.

In K-4, small class sizes and a challenging curriculum enable students to learn important academic skills in a nurturing and caring environment. The children become knowledgeable in computer technology and the multifaceted fine arts and physical education programs are an integral part of the curriculum.

Expanding on the strong foundation of the K-4 program, the Middle School (grades 5-8) offers a rigorous academic curriculum that promotes intellectual discipline, self-discovery, and creative thinking. Strong

emphasis continues to be placed on the core academic areas, fine arts, computer technology, and athletics.

Middle School students are encouraged to be self-reliant, critical thinkers who are civically responsible.

Within the Upper School (grades 9-12), students are challenged to achieve academically, to exercise leadership, to participate in co-curricular activities that enhance their understanding of their own talents, to share their gifts with others, and to position themselves for success at the college or university level.

In addition to academic requirements, graduation requirements include community service and a senior capstone project. Internships, opportunities for multicultural exchanges, encounters with

entrepreneurs and critical thinkers, and seminars with artists and scientists advance the philosophy of the

Upper School connects students with a wider world and prepares them for leadership positions.

The Pine School seeks to nurture an awareness of ethics and values and students are taught that excellence is a way of life and that success is the product of effort, good habits and self-motivation.
