Spark wonder, Ignite learning

At Pines West Academy, we inspire. We believe that every child is a citizen of the world who’s  ideas, emotions and creations should be seeked and valued. Here, our avid little  learners explore, question, and try everyday, becoming architects of their learning journeys. Our bilingual and international curriculum brings the world into their classrooms and supports children’s holistic development through a hands-on, minds-on, hearts-on approach that fosters love for learning, higher level thinking skills, and a global mindset, preparing them for a fulfilling life within a world in constant evolution. 

Our promise to you is a home away from home for you and your child, in which school and family partner as one towards your little one’s maximum and unique development

I am genuinely impressed with my son's school. The dedication of the teachers, the supportive environment, and the focus on both academic and personal growth make it an excellent place for him to learn and thrive. It’s wonderful to see a school that truly values its students and invests in their future.

We are so happy with our experience at Pines West Academy! Our oldest daughter, who now graduated to Elementary school, thrived with Pines West Academy's dynamic curriculum, bilingual instruction and extra curricular activities like ballet, yoga and music class (all of which are within regular school hours so it’s super easy on working parents!) She was super prepared to enter Kindergarten. Till this day our oldest daughter raves about how much she loved PWA and all her teachers 🙂 We loved our experience so much that we now have our youngest daughter enrolled there. The teachers consistently provide feedback and support, and are always available for questions in person or via the school’s classroom app. Thank you Pines West Academy and keep up the amazing work! You really do have a one-of-a-kind program!

My daughter just graduated after 3 years at PWA. They are absolutely fantastic people and really love caring for the children. They are so impressive academically and push the students into a love of learning and more than prepare them for school going forward. I've always appreciated their focus on worldliness, kindness and caring. We will miss them all greatly!

We are incredibly grateful for the amazing experience our son had in the 4-hour VPK program. He was always so content and excited to go, and it’s clear how much he learned and grew during his time there. The curriculum is thoughtfully structured to meet each child’s individual needs, and the variety of extracurricular activities like art, crafts, songs, and dance kept him engaged and inspired. We especially loved the frequent little performances where we could see the kids shine!

We couldn’t be happier with the classroom environment and the growth we’ve seen in our child this year! The classroom is warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully organized, making it a great space for learning and development. It’s clear that the teachers put in extra effort to create a nurturing and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and encouraged to express themselves. Since starting the year, our child has made tremendous progress, both academically and socially. The individualized attention and engaging curriculum have really brought out the best in him. We’ve noticed significant improvements in their confidence, communication skills, and enthusiasm for learning. Better classroom management than our experience last year. We are incredibly grateful for the positive atmosphere and the dedication of the staff. It’s wonderful to see our child thriving in such a positive environment. Thank you for all that you do!

I’m really pleased with my toddler’s (2 and 1/2 year old) daycare. The teachers are genuinely caring and attentive, always making sure my child feels supported and encouraged. The activities they plan are engaging and developmentally appropriate, keeping my little one interested and helping with skill-building. The space itself is thoughtfully designed, clean, and safe, creating a comfortable environment that feels just right for young children. I feel confident and reassured leaving my child there each day. Love all the staff and everything about this daycare!❤️

Both my kids attend PWA and we love all the teachers! They have all been so positive, nurturing, and instrumental to their growth and development - academically and socially. Mrs Teri is the director and has been with the school for 20+ years. She is extremely passionate about ensuring the school exceeding parents expectations. The tuition includes lunch which makes it easier on the parents, and it also includes two parent night outs a month. I’m so happy that we chose this preschool for my kids. If you’re considering it, do it! And do it fast, as the spots always fill up quickly!
