The Pingry Experience

"The Honor Code is the school's 'secret sauce.' It's what makes Pingry more than just another prep school with an admittedly gorgeous campus. . . students are trusted to make important decisions on their own while being given the tools and incentives to make the right decisions. It's on you; there's nobody watching you."

—Andrew Goldstein '92

Pingry Pride

“Pingry opened my eyes early to branching out from baseball to all these other, different realms where greatness was apparent. . . It was good to have had all those different experiences and to really understand what it takes to be successful.”

—Justin Friedman '15, relief pitcher for the AZL White Sox

Employment

If you're passionate about inspiring students and have a love of learning, let's talk.

At Pingry, we invite you to join a vibrant, K-12 coeducational country day school, spread across two campuses—in Basking Ridge and Short Hills, New Jersey—but united as one community. From students and families to teachers, administrators, coaches, and staff, we are committed to prioritizing personal and professional growth, guided by the school's century-old Honor Code.

Whether you are coaching a team, supporting a club, leading an advisory, guiding a summer enrichment class, or participating in an all-school event, you are not simply joining a school—you are becoming part of a diverse community. One built on more than 160 years of mission-driven, student-focused work, in which Honor and Character; Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; Stewardship and Sustainability; and Intellectual Engagement are not simply catchphrases, but our core values.

If you are energized by our mission and history, by being part of a dynamic community of innovators, creators, thinkers, builders, makers, and doers, we would love to hear from you.

As a school that values lifelong learning, Pingry cultivates intellectual engagement, inquiry, and personal empowerment among its employees. We encourage faculty and staff to discover professional growth opportunities through conferences and workshops, visits to other schools, summer fellowships, and the pursuit of advanced degrees. To support their ongoing personal and professional growth, the following offerings are available to full-time Pingry employees :

Financial Support for Advanced Degrees

All newly-hired faculty who hold bachelor's degrees will continue their education with a master's or other advanced degree within four years of their start of employment. In turn, Pingry provides full financial support, or a loan-forgiveness rate of 20% per year for a five-year period (faculty who remain at the school for the full five years receive 100% forgiveness). Currently, approximately 70% of Pingry faculty members have earned a master’s degree or higher and more than 20 of our teachers have earned doctorates.
