The Pingry Difference

"A lot of what I did at Pingry really shaped what I did in college. You have a camp of people who go into college trying to reinvent themselves. For me, I didn't feel like I was doing anything different. The path I took at Pingry really helped to pave the way for me going forward."—TanTan Wang '16
About
The Pingry Experience

"It's impossible to imagine any place striving harder than we do. The creative process is held in such high regard here—it makes me excited to come in every day and see what's new."
—Deirdre O'Mara P '17, '19, '21, Upper School biology teacher

Expression at Pingry
"Those years under the watchful eyes of my drama teachers . . . set me up handsomely for the work I do. I know now to find my joy and fight for it. To those Pingry artists who are scared to do what you love: find it, fight for it. It’s worth the struggle."
—Jessie McLaughlin '17

“Here, you get back to the foundation of soccer and you realize why you love it, and to be able to win a state title is incredible. Playing with your friends is something you don't always get to do and that is what makes high school soccer so special.” —Alexandra Weber '20

"We have a framework of curriculum, but we're given the freedom and trust to approach the material the way we feel is best. It's what makes this school exceptional rather than just a great private school." —Aaron Kellner, Grade 4 teacher

“To not only see how much the School has changed for my children and grandchildren, but to be an active part and agent of that change has been truly remarkable.”—Bob Rooke '43

“I’m convinced my daughter is being cared for and paid attention to here at Pingry in a way that wouldn’t happen anywhere else. Our classroom teachers have been there for her in the moments, big and small. It’s above and beyond anything I could have expected."

Pingry welcomes head of school matt levinson

As of July 1, 2019, Pingry is delighted to welcome its 16th Head of School, Mr. Matt Levinson, and his family into the community. Mr. Levinson began his career at Princeton Day School 26 years ago, and, at the time, was actively involved in NJ SEEDS, marking his return to the East Coast—after 12 years in the San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle—a homecoming, of sorts. It is a homecoming the Pingry community is eager to celebrate alongside him.

Bringing over 25 years of leadership experience in independent schools, and having worn countless hats along the way—from teacher, department chair, grade-level dean, administrator, coach, and counselor, among others—Mr. Levinson is sure to feel at home on our bustling campuses. As his tenure at Pingry gets underway, we look forward to sharing his story here.
