Our students learn over time to make the kinds of choices that serve them best. At every grade level, they have an abundance of extracurricular activities and course electives from which to choose. From dance, swimming, tennis, and private music lessons for the younger groups, to competitive athletics and academic team and club membership, children grow into young adulthood at Pine Crest with every opportunity to experience the full richness that life can offer.

Students gain familiarity from their earliest years at Pine Crest with the intrinsic rewards of helping others. The Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten children visit the elderly to perform prepared musical and dance routines. Lower School children participate in drives that help feed the hungry at holiday times. Middle School students participate by grade level at charitable organizations throughout the county of the campus they attend. There is an Upper School requirement of community service hours by grade that helps promote a sense of responsibility in our older students regarding the need to reach out into the larger community to provide needed services to the less fortunate.

The Institute for Civic Involvement (ICI) is housed in its own building on the Fort Lauderdale campus by the same name. Serving the Upper School students, the ICI is the Social Sciences building, where our older children study a rich sequence of required and elective courses. The Political Forum, a student run organization, invites local and national politicians to campus on a regular basis to meet with our student body on topics of current interest, political campaigning and careers in government and politics. Two recently invited guests have been former Republican presidential candidate and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Alan Keyes, and democratic political expert James Carville, the latter as a featured speaker at the Pine Crest mock Democratic Political Convention held on campus.
