High School

High School

High School at The Pinehills Academy, encourages the growth of independence and responsibility as students prepare for the challenges, rigors, responsibilities, and freedoms of college and adult life. Students select from a wide variety of course offerings, including intensive and focused research projects and challenging Advanced Placement courses.

Course work increasingly involves philosophical and analytical thought, and students in grades 10 and 11 may elect to pursue an on-campus independent study project for credit, under the supervision of an Academy faculty member. The Senior Project Program is the culminating learning experience  at The Pinehills Academy.

Learning to manage discretionary time is an important part of the student at High School program. Students in 10-12 are permitted to be on their own on campus when they are not in class, at lunch, or in a study hall. Seniors in good standing may be granted privileges at the discretion of the dean of students and grade sponsor. Seniors with privileges may leave campus during unscheduled time and are excused from lunch on Fridays.
