PFA Welcomes New Principal/Headmaster

We are pleased to welcome Dr. David Martin as the new headmaster of Pine Forge Academy.

Here’s a little bit about him in his own words.

“I come to Pine Forge Academy with 25 years of professional experience in the fields of education and training, having served in various leadership roles, such as: adjunct professor, consultant, founding principal, assistant principal, and dean of students. My academic background includes a Doctor of Education degree in Educational and Organizational Leadership from the University of Pennsylvania, as well as graduate degrees in Business Administration, and School Administration/Supervision. I also hold a Bachelor of Music in Education degree from Andrews University. I have dedicated my career to fostering environments where the whole student is nurtured. And, because I believe deeply in the transformative power of education, I am committed to ensuring that Pine Forge Academy continues to be a place where excellence is no accident.

My vision for Pine Forge Academy builds on the strong foundation that has been laid by my predecessors, and by the contributions of our dedicated faculty, staff, parents, donors/supporters, and alumni. I am passionate about integrating innovative educational practices with our traditional values, ensuring that our students are not only well-prepared for the challenges of the future, but are also grounded in the moral and spiritual principles that have always guided our community. Together, we will strive to cultivate and maintain an environment that nurtures curiosity, resilience, and a deep sense of responsibility to God and mankind.”
