The Independent School Advantage

Pinnacle Academy is proud to be an independent school.

Why choose an independent school?

Mission-Driven
Independent schools are driven by a strong sense of vision and mission. Every aspect of the private educational experience at Pinnacle is aligned with our mission-from curriculum to classroom design.

Strength-based Program
Independent schools offer a whole-child experience, encouraging students to participate in a variety of activities, including STEM, art, clubs, and electives to highlight their talents and offer opportunities for growth and leadership.

Autonomy
Independent schools are autonomous from many government regulations, including standardized testing and curriculum. Pinnacle has the freedom to design an academic program that truly meets the needs of each student.

Challenging Curriculum
Low student-teacher ratios and class sizes encourage close relationships between instructors and students, offering more individualized attention. In this environment, students are challenged and encouraged to excel.

Safe Learning Environment
With smaller class sizes and a family-style campus culture, closer observation is more easily managed by trained faculty and staff. Pinnacle uses visitor management systems and has restricted access to academic buildings to ensure safety. 

Parent Partnership
Independent schools promote a close partnership between parents/guardians and the school for the enhancement of their child's educational experience. Schools also offer a close community that brings people together through events, participation, ongoing communication, and more.

Teaching Expertise
Faculty at independent schools tend to have more specialized areas of expertise, making them more qualified to teach in their respective areas. Pinnacle faculty are highly qualified to differentiate instruction and integrate evidence-based practices into learning.
