Pinewood Preparatory School

Pinewood Preparatory School enrolls 700 to 1,000 students across pre-school, elementary, middle, and high school in Summerville, South Carolina. It is a secular day school, meaning faculty work defined hours without residential duties or on-campus living requirements. The school's $11 million annual revenue and $7.2 million in net assets reflect financial stability in the Charleston region, supported by nine percent fundraising growth that funds competitive compensation and professional development.

Teaching at Pinewood spans distinct divisions with clear role expectations. Early-childhood and elementary teachers build foundational skills. Secondary faculty teach as subject specialists in sciences, humanities, and Spanish language instruction. Every classroom connects to the school's four-part mission: intellectual, physical, ethical, and social development. This means your teaching day includes class time, but also involvement in athletics, character initiatives, and community service planning.

Day-school teaching appeals to educators seeking engagement without evening dorm supervision. You retain your evenings and weekends. Pinewood's day structure attracts teachers who want to build deep classroom expertise and contribute meaningfully to school culture without the demands of residential life.

Compensation packages include competitive salaries for South Carolina independent schools, health insurance, and tuition assistance for employees' own children—a tangible benefit for working families. Financial stability at this school size supports consistent hiring and salary growth.

Pinewood Preparatory School currently recruits elementary and secondary classroom teachers, Spanish specialists, athletic coaches, and administrative staff. Most hiring occurs before the academic year, though mid-year openings emerge. Faculty at mid-size schools influence curriculum directly and enjoy strong job security because departures are uncommon.
