High School Placement

At Pine Street School, we walk families every step of the way through the high school admissions process. Beginning in 7th grade, students receive tutoring and interview preparation, while parents participate in workshops designed to bring clarity and strategy to the journey.

We are proud to partner with Smart City Kids, a premier admissions consultancy group, to provide expert tutoring as well as strategic school and family support. Together, we offer thoughtful guidance on school selection, application strategy, and advocacy conversations with admissions offices to ensure each child is well-positioned and well-understood.

We do not simply prepare applications — we prepare students, and we stand beside families throughout the process.
