About Pinecrest Academy Tavares

Pinecrest Academy Tavares is a free, Cognia-accredited public charter teaching kindergarten through eighth grade. Reading instruction uses McGraw Hill Open Court, Project Lead the Way puts students to work on real-world design problems, and students also take Spanish, art, music and physical education.

In kindergarten through fifth grade, a certified gifted teacher at each grade level teaches gifted students in reading and math during our Power Hour sessions every day. Students who need extra help get targeted intervention through our Multi-Tiered System of Supports, including intensive reading and math classes, and English language learners have their own program. Middle schoolers can take high school Algebra 1, Geometry and Physical Science, and eighth graders with a 3.5 high school GPA can take a dual enrollment college success course.

Middle school electives include VEX IQ robotics, PLTW Design and Modeling and Flight and Space, yearbook and journalism, student social media, mixed media art and a career cluster class. We also field competitive middle school sports teams, run a STEM Club and STEAM Bowl, and offer aftercare.
