For those who have slowed down long
                enough  to  make  a  friend  from  Puerto
                Rico,  or  to  share  lunch  with  a
                classmate  from  Panama,  a  greater
                insight  into  mankind  is  gained.  This
                does  not  mean  that  everyone  at  Pine
                Crest  runs  around  discovering  life's
                intellectual  truths.  However,  one
                might  find  that  students  from  Ven­
                ezuela  get  their  feelings  hurt just  like
                those  from  Japan,  and that Canadians
                sneeze  much  like Floridians. Students
                may  also  discover  whether  things  are
                really  better  in  the  Bahamas.

                Lessons such as these are not taught in
                classrooms  and  are  not  bought  in
                stores. When a student leaves the pine
                cone-speckled  campus  with  such
                insight, he has become more prepared
                to face the chaos of the world, since he
                has  learned  to  communicate,  he  has
                learned  to  appreciate,  and  he  has
                learned  to  live  with  people  unlike
                himself.  .  . in a world within a world
                called  Pine  Crest  School.

                                                                                                    for  students  to  relax  and  enjoy  the  beautiful
                                                                                                    surroundings.
