To Receive And Reflect The Son

Pine Tree Academy is a Seventh-day Adventist Christian school in Freeport, Maine, open to students of all faiths and backgrounds, where student-athletes are known, challenged, and given opportunities to lead. Breakers Soccer and Basketball teams compete through the Maine Principals' Association with a real path to regional and state tournaments. On-campus boarding is available for students who want faith, academics, and sport in one place. Pine Tree Academy is located in beautiful Freeport, Maine, just 15 minutes north of Portland, with daily bus transportation available from Portland.

More attention. More opportunity. More ways to make an impact. In a close-knit community, every Breakers athlete has room to grow on the field, in the classroom, and in faith.

Competing for State Championships

Pine Tree Academy is one of a very small number of Christian schools in Maine competing in Maine Principals' Association varsity athletics. That gives our student-athletes a path through regional and state tournaments, with the opportunity to compete for Maine state championships, while staying in a Christ-centered school community just north of Portland.

The Breakers Experience

Four ideas shape what athletics looks like at Pine Tree Academy.

Compete

Varsity Breakers compete on a real schedule against Maine schools, with the standard set in practice every week.

Develop

A pathway from Littles through varsity means athletes grow inside one program instead of starting over each year.

Belong

In a small school, athletes are known by name. Teams are communities, not tryout lists.

Lead

Older Breakers coach, mentor, and set the tone for the students coming up behind them.
