We are a progressive place for deep learning, reflection, and personal growth.
Thinking differently
We will focus on wellness and the cultivation of routines that prepare students and adults to reflect, thrive in ambiguity, solve problems, cultivate empathy, and think differently.
Learning at a healthy pace
The Pingree educational environment will demonstrate that learning at a healthy pace involves the curious examination and integration of ideas, values, skills, and creative expression.
“Pingree is a very active place. There are things happening all the time. But we make an effort to find time in the day for ourselves and for wellness.”
Arlynn PollettaTheater Director
