Sit down. Settle in. Be a part of something special.🪑

That’s our theme for the 2026-2027 school year—and it truly reflects who we are. At Pine Forest School of the Arts, we pride ourselves on being a family. We take care of one another, celebrate each other’s wins, and create a space where everyone belongs.

When you walk through our halls and into our classrooms, we want you to feel it immediately—warmth, connection, and a true sense of home. And when it comes to choosing the right place for your child, we believe there simply is no better choice. The opportunities, the care, and the experiences we offer set our school apart in all the right ways.

We could have chosen a theme about exploring space or walking the red carpet. But this one? This one means something. It resonates. It reflects the heart of our school and the people in it.💛

Hey, Kindergarten families! 👋😊

Kindergarten registration is open for the 2026–2027 school year, and we still have openings available!

At Pine Forest School of the Arts, every child is known, valued, and encouraged to shine. We pride ourselves on creating a warm, family-oriented environment where students build friendships, grow in confidence, and develop a lifelong love of learning.

One of the things that makes our school unique is that ALL students, beginning in Kindergarten, participate in our FIVE dedicated arts programs: Dance, Music, Strings Orchestra, Theatre and Visual Arts!
From the very start, our students have opportunities to explore their creativity, discover new talents, and express themselves through the arts.

Don't wait until the last minute to secure your child's spot! We would love to welcome your family into ours.💛

Each summer, we welcome our incoming Kindergarten students and their families for our Summer Kindergarten Testing and Registration Days! Over the past few years, more and more families have joined us, and last summer an amazing 83% participated! We’re excited to make this year even bigger!

During your visit, your child will have the chance to meet some of our teachers and staff, while our team gets to know your child in a fun and relaxed way. This helps our teachers better understand each student and start the school year ready to support their learning from day one!

Families will also have time to connect with our office staff to complete registration and meet other new Kindergarten families—making it a great opportunity to start building friendships and feel part of our school community. We hope to see you there!

Our talented 5th graders, Hattie and Jhakarri, may be known for their outstanding performances in Theatre and Chorus, but they are also exceptional writers!

This year, Hattie earned 2nd place in the state in the Florida Retired Teachers' Essay Contest, while Jhakarri received an Honorable Mention award. Students were asked to write about an influential adult in their lives, and their essays were submitted through one of our amazing 5th grade ELA teachers, Mrs. Tucker.

We are incredibly proud of both students and their remarkable accomplishments. As they prepare to head off to middle school, we wish them all the best and know they will continue to shine and make us proud!

Just one more day, Team Duval! 🎉

Reminder: Thursday, May 28, is the last day of school for students! We hope everyone has a strong finish to an amazing school year and a fun, safe summer ahead. ☀️📚
