The CEER (Communication, Entrepreneurship, Engineering, Robotics) Academy at Pine Tree ISD is an opportunity for students in grades 1st through 8th grade to learn in an environment that is set up to be fast paced and flexible. Their learning will grow to new heights both vertically and horizontally. This program allows students to focus on their strengths and gives them the opportunity to share these strengths with other students both in their CEER classroom, across different grade levels, and with other campuses. Additionally, CEER affords students the chance to expand their learning outside the four walls of the classroom, collaborate with other students, and continuously grow as a learner and a leader. As they push the boundaries of their learning, they will encourage other students to not only push themselves as learners, but also as leaders.

CEER Academy Parents are invited to learn more about CEER and the educational benefits it provides to students during an informational meeting scheduled at each individual campus after the first day of school in August. During campus meetings, parents and guardians will meet CEER teachers, understand how to support and encourage your CEER student, and the expectations for performance and growth.
