It was founded in Fort Lauderdale in 1934 by Mae McMillan, who also served as the school's first president. Pine Crest is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), The Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS), the Florida Council of Independent Schools (FCIS), and the Florida Kindergarten Council (FKC). Pine Crest has also been named a "Blue Ribbon School" by the United States Department of Education.[2] Pine Crest School has two campuses—the main Mae McMillan Campus in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and the William J. McMillan Campus in Boca Raton, Florida, United States. The Boca Raton campus, originally Boca Raton Academy, was absorbed by Pine Crest in 1987 and hosts students in Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 8. The Fort Lauderdale campus hosts students in Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12. HistoryDr. Mae McMillan, a school tutor, founded a school in 1934 in rented rooms in downtown Fort Lauderdale. In 1939, when there were 100 students, the school moved to a former hospital building on an eight-acre site on East Broward Boulevard in 1939,and boarding of students commenced. A nearby site was eventually purchased for an elementary school. The school was incorporated in 1959, and moved to the current 49-acre site on NE 62nd Street in 1965. The Boca Raton campus for pre-kindergarten to Grade 8 students, originally Boca Raton Academy, became part of Pine Crest School in 1987 The boarding program ended in 2001.[3] Campuses and facilitiesFort Lauderdale campusThe Mae McMillan campus has been greatly expanded since it first opened, and the extensive grounds and various buildings give the Fort Lauderdale campus a collegiate atmosphere. A building campaign at the start of the 21st century saw the construction of a new middle school building, Findeiss Auditorium, a parking garage, and the Huizenga Family Science Center. Athletic facilities include a new health and fitness center constructed in the original Lane Hall boys’ dormitory, a number of locker room facilities, two gymnasia, three pools, Banks Field, Elliot Track, and ten tennis courts. Additionally, the adjacent Freidt campus, commonly referred to as “West Campus,” boasts a number of playing fields for baseball, soccer, football, lacrosse, and softball, a batting cage, boathouse for the crew team, and a nature trail centered on Lake Leone. Fine Arts facilities include the Stacy Chapel and Auditorium, Palmer Dance Studio, McMillian Fine Arts Center, Stacy Arts and Activities Center, and Egan Auditorium. As of 2010, the LEED Gold certified Chiller Plant Building has been completed, providing a chilled water feed to the entire campus.
As of 2011, the new Upper School Academic Center has been completed, consolidating the academic functions of the Upper School, which were previously scattered among various buildings, into a single complex.[4] Loggias and courtyards connect the new Upper School building to the existing campus. The center of the campus has the Bell Tower, which houses the Admissions Office and Administrative Offices. In 2015, state-of-the-art Innovation Labs opened on both campuses and for each division of the school.[5] Boca Raton campusFor many years, the Boca Raton campus functioned out of the original Boca Raton Academy buildings, which were eventually wrapped with loggias in true Pine Crest character to match the Silvers/Rubenstein Library Media Center, Rochelle Levitetz Fine Arts Building, Parents’ Association Performing Arts Center, and replication of the Fort Lauderdale campus bell tower, which were built by Pine Crest. As of 2009, the Boca Raton Campus has a new middle school building and dining hall extensions, and the Parents' Association Performing Arts Center was rebuilt after the roof collapsed in the summer of 2004. As of 2010, Pine Crest Boca has finished construction on the new lower school replacement building, which achieved LEED for School Gold Certification from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC).[6] Reputation and rankingsAccording to the Washington Post in 2012, Pine Crest School ranked second in the nation based on their index. Ranked first was Saint Anselm's Abbey in Washington DC and Pine Crest was just ahead of the Washington International School and Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles, California.[7] According to the 2017 Niche Rankings, Pine Crest School is the #1 Best Private School in Florida.[8] Academics and notable achievementsPine Crest School is known for its academic rigor, offering more than 30 Advanced Placement courses in the Upper School. In the 2004-2005 school year, three students were named Presidential Scholars by the US Department of Education, the first time more than two students in Florida were given the award; usually two students per state are awarded (six total were awarded to Florida students in 2005).[9] In October 2006, 21 members of the Class of 2007 were named National Merit Semifinalists by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, the second most semifinalists of any school in Florida's history.

Facilities include the Palmer Dance Studio and the Stacy Auditorium, which hosts the annual ballet, musical, and several jazz and music performances. Practice facilities for music also exist, along with art studios and facilities for photography. Art is taught from an early age, and students can opt out of physical fitness classes for formal ballet training. Pine Crest acknowledges its best fine arts students through its annual Founder's Council awards. The Founder's Council was established by Pine Crest School founder Dr. Mae McMillan in 1968. The Council's mission is to support the arts at Pine Crest, which is done through the Student Cultural Arts Series, which includes the Upper School play, ballet, band, choral and strings concerts, the musical, and the art exhibit. Every year, students who have demonstrated excellence in these categories are recognized in the Founder's Council assembly as a tribute to Dr. McMillan.[13] Notable alumniNotable alumni and students of Pine Crest School include:
