Education

The college preparatory curriculum is rigorous. Students write a research paper in their junior year focused on a career interest, and follow up with a comprehensive project senior year. Because of the school's smaller size, students may participate in numerous athletic, civic, and other clubs and teams. Pine Lake has a graduation rate of +95% with students being admitted to universities including North Carolina State University, IE Law School of Madrid, UNC Chapel Hill, Colorado School of Mines, Duke, Clemson, M.I.T., and Vanderbilt.[citation needed]
