Pingry’s primary objective is to bring good students and good teachers together. It seeks students able to benefit from the challenge of a broad and thorough education and teachers dedicated to the student as an individual and to their own fields of instruction.

Woven through all of Pingry’s endeavors is the objective of developing character. The school seeks to teach students from an early age the meaning and importance of personal integrity, respect for the rights of others, self-discipline, and an appreciation of traditional values, including the ability to work with others and a sense of social responsibility.

The Pingry Honor System strives to reinforce the development of character through student participation and personal assumption of responsibility in all phases of school life.

To further its goal of developing all aspects of the individual student, Pingry strives to achieve a good balance among academic, physical, and extracurricular programs, and to provide for cultural development and involvement of the student in community service.

Pingry also encourages good communication with parents, their participation in school activities, and their understanding of school and home responsibilities.

The curriculum is wide ranging and varied, but rigorous and intellectually challenging. A total of 51 credits is required for graduation. Each major semester course yields one credit. Each major year course yields three credits and each minor year course yields one credit.

Parents can find all their upper school monthly mailings online. Please check this page every month!
