I love Pingry because we have fun inside and outside of the classroom.” Wells, Grade 7

PINGRY IS HOME TO POSSIBILITY

PINGRY IS HOME TO RESILIENCE

Math teaches me resilience. It was hard this year but Mr. Buckley made sure I understood. He always has a trick or saying that helps us.” Jordi, Grade 5

PINGRY IS HOME TO INTEGRITY

The Honor Code helps me understand what is expected of me and what to expect from others.” Camila, Grade 6

PINGRY IS HOME TO HUMAN CONNECTION

PINGRY IS HOME TO UNABASHED JOY

Being excited about things is what makes this place special. At Pingry, people aren’t afraid to show that they care deeply about their work, whether it is the musical or a sports tournament or a class. There is joy in being free to do what you love.” Emily, Grade 12

PINGRY IS HOME TO COURAGE

Pingry is a place where it is encouraged to make mistakes, learn from them, and improve the next time. It's okay to be afraid to fail; it's having the courage to take the risk in spite of that fear that is vital.” Maria, Class of 2023

PINGRY IS HOME TO PURPOSE

Even when you get knocked down, your teachers, friends, teammates, and coaches will build you back up. Pingry has taught me to stay grounded and remain true to my purpose. We celebrate each other when we’re up, but we also root for each other when we’re down.” Donnie, Grade 10
