Come and See What A Catholic Education Could Mean for your Family

Pinecrest Academy will host an all school Open House on Sunday, January 28.

If you have never considered Catholic school for your children, now is a great time to learn about Catholic education at Pinecrest Academy, as we look ahead to the second semester of the current school year and to the 2024-2025 school year! Your family is invited to an All-School Open House on Sunday, January 28, 2024, from 1:00-3:00pm. Kindly choose to register for either the 1:00 PM or 2:00 PM Opening Presentation. Please note that interested High School candidates must register for the 1:00 PM start, as exciting special programming is planned in the High School. Following Opening Presentations, all guests will be able to tour buildings, classrooms and facilities on the beautiful 68-acre campus.

As a PreK3-12 Catholic school, Pinecrest is known for its small class sizes and the ability to provide personalized attention, where students are known by first name. The school's "virtue program" focuses on teaching students about virtues (responsibility, humility, generosity, orderliness, gratitude, etc.) beginning in PreK3. Christ is at the center of the curriculum, and a full-time Campus Ministry team is on campus daily to guide and mentor students. The school offers daily Mass, and the sacraments are available through two full-time chaplains.

Academic excellence is the hallmark of a Catholic school, and Pinecrest Academy ranks with the best. The school has been named the Best Private School in Forsyth County since 2015, it is a top Catholic High School in Georgia, based on Niche.com rankings, and the high school was recently named to the Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) School Honor Roll, earning Platinum distinction. Additionally, the Class of 2023 earned a 100% acceptance rate into the University of Georgia, with previous graduating classes earning acceptance rates consistently above UGA’s annual average acceptance rate. And, Pinecrest ninth, tenth, and eleventh graders earned top scores out of all United States and international test takers of the October 2023 PSAT.
