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
