    From Pinewood Preparatory School

    At Pinewood, you will find a safe and healthy learning environment where students embrace the rigor and joy, that comes with a first-class education.

    Our faculty has more than twice the number of Master Teachers than any other SCISA school in SC and is simply outstanding. We were recognized as the top local independent school, and one of the best places to work - happy and engaged educators translate into positive outcomes for young people.

    We believe there is so much more to the Pinewood experience. The challenging curriculum incorporates elements of STEAM education while also embracing foundational concepts inherent in the humanities. It’s cool to be smart, to work hard, and to try new things, and this is the culture we foster here.

    We take care of one another. Manners matter at Pinewood. Social and emotional intelligence is of upmost importance. Our adults support the students each and every step of the way, facilitating meaningful conversations and healthy relationships.
