Our Mission and Philosophy
At Pines West Academy, we believe that every child is unique and deserves a personalized approach to learning. Our mission is to provide a nurturing and engaging environment that fosters the growth of autonomous learners, capable of building happy, balanced, and meaningful lives for themselves. We achieve this by implementing the VESS curriculum, a holistic educational model that focuses on nurturing important mind habits and thinking skills such as critical thinking, innovation, grit, and emotional intelligence.
Our Programs
We offer a range of programs designed to cater to the unique needs of each child. Our programs create a warm and engaging culture of thinking for children from 12 months to 8 years old. We have a preschool program that focuses on early learning and development, virtual preschool, afterschool camps, and community events that extend beyond the classroom walls.
Our Approach
Our approach is centered around providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment that encourages children to explore, discover, and learn. We believe in a partnership approach to education between the family and the school, where we work together to support each child's unique needs and abilities.
Our Values
At Pines West Academy, we value diversity and provide an individualized approach to learning based on each child's unique needs. We believe in fostering life-long habits of wisdom that help children add value to others and strive to find balance in all their actions. We believe that children are empowered to look for meaning and purpose in everything they do, understanding that their actions and choices have benefits beyond the classroom.
