Pine Street School opened in the Financial District in 2014, founded by Dr. Jennifer Jones.
In spring 2026, Pine Street School graduated its first class of eighth graders. Some had joined the school as two-year-olds and grown up within the community. Their graduation marked an important milestone in the school’s history and reflected more than a decade of steady growth. Pine Street School continues to evolve with intention, shaped by the students, families, and educators who have built the community since its founding.
Look closely at our logo and you'll see leaves, not stars. They're ivy leaves, and the choice was deliberate. In the words of our founder:
"The leaves are tied to the idea of ivy, which I chose because of its qualities. Ivy climbs, is incredibly resilient, and stays evergreen despite the climate. Its leaves become diamond-shaped with maturity. The logo places the ivy in a circle to show unity, community, connection, and oneness. The different colors of the leaves represent diversity in every way: points of view, origins, heritage, and cultures. Green matters to me because I was introducing a private school in a climate of elitism, usually represented by institutional navy, burgundy, and gray. I wanted a color that stood for nature, growth, hope, prosperity, fresh perspectives, and rebirth.
That's the school in a single image. Resilience, community, diversity, and growth. It's who we've been since day one."

Founder, Pine Street School
Our roots are in the Financial District, and we've put down more of them over time. We added our Nursery Ones program, then built up through Elementary, and opened a Middle School that now runs from sixth through eighth grade. We dedicated a Middle School building at 156 William Street, and expansion is underway at 25 Pine Street to add a welcome space for parents and an expanded Early Childhood Center. Every step has been about the same thing: room for children to grow without losing what makes a small school special.
We’re proud of what Pine Street School has built so far and excited about what lies ahead. Visit us to experience the school today and learn more about its next chapter.
