From Pinecrest Academy

Pinecrest Academy is a private PreK3-12 college preparatory Catholic school in north Atlanta, GA. We provide an atmosphere of academic rigor and critical thinking in a Christ-centered environment. Rooted in Catholic tradition and inspired by the goodness, beauty, and truth of the Christian worldview, our whole-person educational method helps children discover their God-given gifts so they can fulfill their potential in academics and all areas of life. Our average class size is 15, and all students are known by name. The Class of 2022 (70 students) received $11,306,689 in scholarships, with 33 Zell Miller scholars and 31 HOPE scholars. We have received the Forsyth County News "Best Private School" award for eight years and have been a Cardinal Newman Society School of Excellence since 2007. Our beautiful Lower School building opened in August 2019, and our turf athletic field debuted in September 2019. Visit www.pinecrestacademy.org or call (770) 888-4477.
